You should have no problem crossing the Canadian and US borders with your ferret-- I've done it several times. You do need some paperwork-- proof of up-to-date vaccinations and a certificate of health signed by a vet no more than 30 days before your border crossing. The border guard where you cross may not be up on ferret regulations, but if not, ask him/her to look it up or to call the USDA. A veterinarian does not need to be present at the border crossing. Essentially, it's no different than crossing with a dog or cat. I can't tell you anything about Knoxville, but I hope that this was cheering news!
