Talk to you vet, but K P Sol made by Evsco is FOR animal use. Not only
might ferrets like the taste better - making it easier to get it down -
but it has JUST Kaolin and Pectate - we know it's safe, and it works.
It's also a lot pricier than over the counter Kaopectate though, but
worth it. Also, Kaolin-Pectin by Durvet is $7.00 a gallon. It has
nothing but Kaolin and Pectin as ingredients. I don't know if it's an
identical product to KP Sol or not, but it is cheaper!
I can't reiterate enough to PLEASE talk with your vets about this sort of
thing! I hope that helps a little.
