my ferret is 5 to 6 months old yesterday she started droling yesterday and today she started foaming whats wrong with her can i cure it?
Get her to the vet now !!!!!! I am so sorry that this is happening . I do know how hard this is.
Ferrets go downhill very quickly. If she is dehydrated there is nothing YOU can do. She needs fluids or she will die. Please, Please take her to a vet now and do not let her suffer. She has only you to look out for her . She cannot take herself there.
Please let me know how things are going.

First sign for Insulinoma is "starring into space"
Insulinoma involves the beta cells in the pancreas of the ferret that develop into tumor (s), and is unfortunately fairly common in ferrets aged 2-4 and up. It is this tumor (s) that causes the excess production of insulin (a hormone which allows cells in the body to use glucose in the blood), causing a dangerously low blood glucose level (due to the high absorption), also known as hypoglycemia (opposite of diabetes). The nodules (tumors) can typically range in size from 2mm - 1cm, may occur singularly or as a group of small nodules, and are a recurring problem. There are also many cases of diffuse hyper beta cell proliferation, where there are no visible nodules or tumors. In this case, treatment would be removal of part of the pancreas.

if you're giving your ferret any kind of sugar, it can contribute to this problem
It is important to NEVER provide any sugary treats or snacks which includes: raisins, Pedialyte, Ensure, fruit, honey, etc., Whether or not your ferret has insulinoma, and limit the amount of Petromalt and Nutrical.
please just go to the vet or look for a doctor who specializes in ferrets, he should provide you with something helpful
