Here's some information on a few very good (but somewhat expensive)
ferret food products recommended for ill or malnourished ferrets. I have
used all of these products with each of my ferrets and the products have
produced very good results in a short period of time, esp. when the
furkid doesn't have much of an appetite for their regular food.
Hill's "Prescription Diet Canine/Feline A/D" - Great source of
nourishment to 'fatten up' an underweight or sick ferret. Comes in a
small can and can only be purchased at a veterinarian's office, not a pet
stores. Price per can ranges from $1.25 - $2.00, depending on the vet's
office charge.

Oxbow Pet's "Carnivore Care" - An ideal choice for providing supplemental
nutrition to ferrets that are not eating. Comes in concentrated powder
that is mixed with water to provide complete nutrition to rehabilitating
carnivores with a reduced appetite. Rather expensive and can also only
be purchased through a vet's office but provides GREAT results!

Trophy Animal Care's "DYNE" - High calorie dietary suppliment provides
high calorie intake for animals recovering from debilitating illnesses.
*Caution* This produce is very high in sugar so it may not be suitable
for insulinomic ferrets.

***I've used Dyne and spoken with their customer care dept. They
recommend ordering the product through one of their on-line distributors,
www.jefferspet.com, for faster service.
