Oops... of course the person who posted that Kaopectate is now
"bismuth subsalicylate" is correct.  It USED to contain Kaolin but was
reformulated, just as was posted.  Without getting into a lecture on
"throw away those old medicines", let me just state that you never know
WHICH formulation of something is in the average person's medicine
cabinent.;>)  In any event, Parepectolin is not the same as Kaolin OR
Kaopectate & never was.
 
When in doubt, read the ingredients on the label (& check the expiration
date while you're at it).  Remember that all animals do not necessarily
react to medicines the same as humans, so always check with your Vet to
see if the medication is suitable for ferrets.
 
Thank you, & sorry for any confusuion this may have caused.
