t sounds like your male may have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).  This
is a some what common problem in dogs and cats, so most small animal vets
will be knowledgeable about this disease.  Some case respond to pred
only, but some cases need Imuran to control the diarrhea.  Hopefully
Chris will be able to direct you to a ferret vet there in England.
 
Hope that helps,
