To Kevin and Darlene:

Kevina nd Darlene - One green stool does not a disaster make. Ferrets
commonly eat things that they shouldn't and may have an upset stomach for a
little while. If the green feces continues for a day or two, I would consult
your vet. However one green loose stool may be passed following a temporary
bout of stress or fright. You will see this many times over the years.
Without contact with other ferrets, I would not worry about "the
greenies". I'm sure by the time this message gets to you, everything will be
back to normal....
