Ferret fell, hit head. Can't lift head or stand. What should I do?

Question

My friends ferret fell very high and hit his head, she said he won't hold his head up now or stand up to go to the bathroom. The only thing that makes him feel better is steam from a hot shower. What should she do? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | unneutered

She should take Sno to the vet urgently, it sounds like a severe head trauma, possibly a severe concussion or even brain damage, the vet needs to assess the severity of this injury before deciding what to do next.
