My ferret has bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and won't eat. What now?

Question

My ferret had very loose diarrhea since this morning and now I noticed blood in his stool. He's also thrown up a couple of time. Does not want to eat. Our vet is closed so we've been hydrating him with Pedialyte till we get to take him tomorrow. Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | neutered | 2 lbs

I am sorry honey nut is not feeling well. I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian tomorrow. Ferrets can get severe gastric upset but also viruses that can cause diarrhea. Honey nut might need some basic bloodwork or even x-rays to determine the cause of honey nuts illness. Continue with the hydration until tomorrow.
