Hi. I am obviously way behind on FMLs, but I wanted to comment on this:

Did your doctor tell you to give the prescription diet to the other
ferrets? If you are feeding them CD/O or CD/S (I didn't catch if your
ferret had oxylate crystals or struvite crystals), a ferret that does NOT
have crystals in their urine can get the opposite problem from feeding
the prescription diet-that can be as fatal as the one with the problem
going untreated. Please check with your vet if you are feeding everyone
the same prescription diet now. FYI!
