Hi Everyone,
Well, I have gotten several requests for the recipe I fed to Stanley. This
is based on a version of Gary Holiwicki's recipe for Timmy. I try to feed
the basics or extra on a regular basis. Most of the ingredients are now
more readily available than before, so you can usually come up with a
suitable substitute if needed.
My gang really loves it, even the cats. Well, except for Nicky Boy, who
doesn't eat anything but kibble, no matter what I do. So he gets force
fed 2-3 droppers to help out his gut (which he needs with his slow moving
bowel, you know gets bloated).
hugs,
Mags
Here is what I used for Stan the Man:
Stanley's Recipe
The basics:
1 jar Earth's Best Baby food, meat variety
Water to thin (I guesstimate)
1 heaping teaspoon Kitten Milk Replacer Powder (I have had a hard time
finding this now, so I leave it out)
1 teaspoon Pet Tinic
Extras:
1/4 teaspoon vitamin C powder
1/4 teaspoon electrolyte powder for cats and dogs (from Omaha Vaccine)
1 teaspoon Missing Link Cat Supplement (Petscriptions 1 800 774-7397)
1 capsule taurine
1 teaspoon acidolpholous powder (don't give at the same time as colloid
silver, it will just kill the bacteria)
1 teaspoon Organic Flax Seed oil
For ece or diarrhea:
1 crushed tablet Viraplex (Enzymatic Therapy 1800-783-2286)
3 droppers of Colloid Silver
1/2 can Ensure or Deliver (substituted for the water in the basic recipe)
Mix together until smooth. I use one of those Braun hand held blenders,
that look like an old fashion malt maker. If the ferret won't eat on his
own out of a bowl, I hand feed or force feed with a baby's medicinal
dropper. These have bulbs on one end and are marked in ml and cc,
something like a mini turkey baster. If the ferret is really stubborn, I
will make a little ferret burrito with a kitchen towel and force the
dropper in the mouth. This is a case of swallow or drown. It may seem
cruel, but is sometimes required.
