Adults and adolescents are the primary reservoir for pertussis. Pertussis is spread by contact with airborne discharges from the mucous membranes of infected people, who are most contagious during the catarrhal stage. Because the symptoms during the catarrhal stage are nonspecific, pertussis is usually not diagnosed until the appearance of the characteristic cough of the paroxysmal stage.
Whooping cough has four stages that partially overlap: incubation, catarrhal stage, paroxysmal stage, and convalescent stage.
ECE - epizootic catarrhal enteritis - sudden onset of bright green or yellowish diarrhea in ferrets. refer to link for more details
An acute specific disease with a dusky red cutaneous eruption resembling that of measles, but unattended by catarrhal symptoms; -- called also German measles.
The early stage of pertussis (the catarrhal stage) is characterised by a fever, achiness and runny nose. People will usually but not always have a cough. The later stages (mostly the paroxysmal stage) are what are famous for severe coughing.

A person is contageous with Whooping cough (pertussis) for anywhere from 5 - 14 days during what is called the "catarrhal" stage. This is when you have a runny nose (generally with clear mucus), mild aches, sneezing, low-grade fever (perhaps) and other symptoms that appear to be like a cold. Whooping cough has three stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal and recovery. Antibiotics - if given during the first stage of the disease - help to more quickly reduce the impact of infection and reduce the period when you are infectious. Once you get to the second state (violent coughing fits), your body will deal with the infection in its own good time and antibiotics do little good. Recovery can take up to three to six months, or more, depending upon the severity of the disease and age. Relapses of coughing are common but tend to lessen in severity over time.
That sounds like your ferret may have ECE which is a Mystery Virus. it was originally called the "greenies" but the actual name for it is epizootic catarrhal enteritis. Ferrets dont usually die from this disease specifically its more of the way the disease affects the rest of the body. All baby ferrets can carry ECE and when it is introduced to an older ferret, or a ferret recovering from an illness they are more prone to getting it. Take them to the vet IMMIDIATLY
