!st of all....GET RID OF THE MILK!  Ferrets cannot digest dairy products!
Get a better food also.  Cat food is not good enough for ferrets.  They
need a food high in fat and protein.  A high quality ferret food...
ie: 8-in-1 Ultimalte, Sheppard and Greene, even iams kitten or maximum
nutrition kitten is better than cat food!  Give them ONLY water to drink.
Since they are vomitting and have diahrea, get them to a vet!  I would
imagine they are probably dehydrated already and need some fluids from
a vet!  I hope your babies will be ok.  After the vet....go and buy the
book "Ferrets for Dummies" by Kim Schilling!  This is the "ferret bible"
and a MUST HAVE for all ferret owners.  It will answer all basic
questions on ferret care and then some.
 
Again, hope they will be ok....and GET THEM TO A VET ASAP!
