This is the standard "Triple Treatment" used for gastric ulcers, though the
amounts seem a bit low and Heidegger should be treated for a minimum of two
weeks.
 
My reference on dosages for ferrets with gastric ulcers says:
 
Amoxi: 10mg/kg
Metronidazole: 20mg/kg
Bismuth subsalicylate (pepto)1ml/kg
 
All given orally twice a day.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
