Id be changing my vet a vet shutting mid week .As said maybe a bruise at worst a break .Is it weight bearing ??.

noo, i think its broken tbh as she is struggling to put wieght on it what happens if it is a break? and thanks for the concerns lads

I should think a vet will be able to plaster it ,To be honest i dont know ive never seen a ferret break a leg .

seen the vet, shes got a broken hip which according to the vet isnt as serious as other breaks thank god. he said keep her in a small cage for two weeks and give her painkillers every day with a meal glad its not too bad though
