My ferret is lethargic, not eating, and trying to throw up. What's wrong?

Question

My ferret has been acting lethargic, has not ate(that I've seen), and seems like he tries to throw up after he doesn't water. What symptoms of sickness, for a ferret, is he displaying? Pet's info: Small Animal | Ferret | Male | neutered

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Inappetence and lethargy could be due to a gastrointestinal condition such as gastroenteritis, an infection, cancer, pancreatitis, a gastrointestinal foreign body, among other possibilities. I highly recommend that you have Charlie evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to proceed with further diagnostics such as abdominal ultrasound and bloodwork. Treatment would depend on findings. Good luck!
