She is super lethargic and just keeps opening her mouth and closing it. Smacking her mouth over and over. The worst part is you can see it in her eyes. her body is super stiff when you pick her up and she doesn't move.
We can't find an open vet!! It is 8pm her, all we can find is monday through friday vets!

Only thing I can think is seizure. If you have any corn syrup (Karo) or honey, rub some on her gums. If she starts coming out of it, keep it up until she's back. then give her some food right away.

I agree and also could be a sign of Insulinomia! Has she had bloodwork lately?

Agreed, from that description it sounds like her stomach is upset. Let us know what the vet says, I'd suggest a barium x ray if you can to check for blockages.

We are home. Vet said that it was a bacteria overgrowth. When we got there she immediately started projectile vomiting. They took her back and ran some tests, checked for blockage which came out clean. My husband and I were both worried that she had eaten something she wasn't supposed too. The vet didn't think so, he said she wasn't acting like she was poisoned and there was no blockage. He said he didn't have the ability to do blood work for a ferret there, I would have to go somewhere else for blood work, but he was certain it was bacterial overgrowth. They gave her I.V fluids and He gave us a script for antibiotics and something to help "push things through"
So what do you guys think?

Hopefully it works. Have her poops been really foul smelling?

Up until her very sudden onset, her poops were very normal. I am really second guessing the diagnosis and fear blockage. The mouth thing she is doing is teeth grinding. I just had no clue at first what it was.
She hasn't eaten. She we force feed her?

I am freaking out so bad, she is dying I know it. There is no where to take her today. We could spend another $340 to take her back to the place that doesn't run any blood tests. The told me last night that did everything their facility was capable of.
Can anyone give me advice, I am freaking out bad.
