Are there any ferret shelters in your area? They may be able to help you. If he's not eating on his own and weak, he needs to get to a vet immediately. Try www.ferretcentral.org, there is a link to a shelter and vet reference page. If you can't find anything there, ask the vets in your area for a reference. Even if this is not life threatening now, you will eventually need a ferret knowledgable vet and as you are finding out now, it's better to know in advance than in an emergency. You might have to drive a while, but you need to find a vet.
