My ferret is sick i think...

Question
yesterday my ferret was okay and she was playing with me like normal... this morning i thought i heard her spitting up something and when we found her she was Kind of limp... i took her out of her cage and was checking on her.. I brought downstairs and she wasn't responding to me.. shes acting like she doesn't want to play and wake up.. she's sleeping uncontrollably.. HELP ME PLEASE!

Answer
You need to get something sweet into her right away.  Karo syrup, molasses or buy some Nutri-cal.  It sounds like she may have insulinoma.  It can be controlled even though it is a cancer common in ferrets.  She may be in a comatose state from it.  Still if she has any alertness at all put something sweet on her gums as she won't be able to lick it in that state.  

Let me know if I can be of more help.
