Hi All: One of the shelter ferrets(male, age unknown, but I'm guessing 3-4 years old) has had a rather sudden-onset of hind-end weakness, tiredness (goes a few steps then falls/lays on his side), "tightness" on his right abdomen, & no "hump" reflex when I run my hand down his body. I don't know how long it's been going on. He was staying with someone while I was on vacation this past week & I just picked him up this afternoon. Since this is new, I'm worried, & taking him to the vet tomorrow, but want to get some input from others who might have seen similar symptoms. Any ideas? Thanks!
