WHAT

Vahakyla posted:

My male ferret Ike is almost never caged, but due to a rental inspection, was caged for two days.

I took him out of the cage and he was severely lethargic, with his hind legs being weak and he has urine soaked belly, most likely due to the fact that he could not properly stand up for peeing.

He has always been somewhat lazy and inactive compared to other ferrets, opting to watch others and hang by himself. He sleeps way more than other ferrets, too.

Anyway, now he has a fairly rapid pulse, is very weak, wrapped up in towels. He is pretty limp and he defecates very runny fecal matter that just ran down his leg without him moving much for it.

He is not clawing, yelping or anything. He just silently lays still.
I have no money. I can't take him to a vet. The only vet that has treated my ferrets for low cost and free is on vacation. The animal 24h hospital won't see ferrets.

I am way too familar with every ferret just loving dying, but what can I try besides syringe feeding?

Take it to the vet or it dies. If you don't have money find someone who does.
