Dear Kelly--
 
This is valuable information, but it isn't new info.  I use the
Pepcid/Pepto and add tylan to the mix also.  We have used it on 3 rounds
of ECE in the last 4 years.
 
Tylan's off label use is the treament of diarreah in cats, dogs and
ferrets.  It is a low level antibiotice and appetite stimulant.  It isn't
a subtitute for vet care, or prescription meds.  It has made the survival
rate on ECE in our home almost 100% and has reduced the severity of the
ECE as it makes its rounds.  I have 4 ferrets over the age of 5 yrs old
who didn't even have a problem from the ece.
