Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice and comments I received.  My
ferret, Ubu, is eating kibble on his own again and his poop looks mostly
like regular old poop again.  He also did some war dancing today too.  My
vet did call to let me know that a fecal test was positive for Coccidia
so I'll be taking care of that next week as well as inquiring about the
possibility of another lurking hairball .
 
Thanks, Michael (Ubu says thanks too)
