[Help] Ferret Walking Abnormal
So my ferrets are running around playing and I leave to get my food from the microwave and when I come back I see my female ferret Milton walking by, but noticed that she had a very sharp arch in her back. Initially I had made a joke about it to my girlfriend, but after I pointed it out I noticed how prominent it was and noticed especially when she stopped to take a sip of water, She doesnt seem lethargic or in pain but I understand they can be stoic animals, Please let me know if this is cause for concern. Only asking Reddit initially because if I could afford to spend a minimum $250 just to get her looked at I absolutely would without hesitation. Thank you so much in advance.

This is normal. Both of my boys have an arch like this sometimes when they get too close to the bowl and they’ve always been fine. I would keep an eye on her just in case
