My ferret is suddenly weak, wobbly, and biting. What should I do?

Question

Okay I'M VERY WORRIED. My ferret has been acting really weird the past few weeks. We thought the little guy, Hades, was just getting depressed cause he doesn't have a play mate other than our 2 kittens (they are strictly inside cats). But I'm starting to think it's something worse... He never bites (he's the sweetest) but he did 4 times in an yesterday. Now he can't hold his head up for too long and he's been really wobbly and he seems very weak PLEASE HELP ME!!! I don't know any vets for ferret. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | 1 year and 6 months old | 3 lbs

Rub a small amount of Karo syrup on his gums. If he perks up, offer a meal and then have him examined by your veterinarian. He may be having hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) episodes that could lead to behavioral issues. Most general practice vets should be able to examine and treat Hades.
