Sleepy Muta
Although you might not be able to tell from this photo, Muta has bounced back to life (besides me still having to feed her a liquid diet every 4 hours) thanks to everyone's help!
Here she is asleep in her "ball pit" (a box full of the biodegradable/dissolving packing peanuts) after a long wrestling match with Milo :3

Sorry to hear about Salem being continuously ill :( I'm a bit worried about my third ferret Yuki who has dropped a good bit of weight in the past couple months. I'm hoping the weight loss is just from age (although she's only 5), but I've got her on duck soup once a day in addition to her normal food anyway. Ferrets and their strange health issues lol.
Yeah... ferrets are tough little guys and fighters when it comes to disease. My salem has had chronic pneumonia for at least 4 years now. Its starting to slow her down unfortunately (she is around 6 and a half) but she's hanging in there. Are their any other symptoms besides weight loss for Yuki?
She's starting to get "rat-tail" again, which is usually stress-related (perhaps from the new addition Milo, who is a big rowdy boy), and she has had a tiny mast cell tumor appear on her side as a scab a few times in the past year. I've kept an eye on the tumor because in many cases they're harmless, and this one doesn't seem to have the dangerous symptoms (it's normally the size of half a grain of rice and barely distinguishable from the rest of her skin until it goes into scab-mode, which has happened 3 times), and a vet I went to said they're extremely common and usually nothing to worry about.
I'm hoping it's just stress, which can be alleviated, that's causing the weight loss, but either way I'm keeping a close watch on her :3
