We noticed all 3 of our fuzzies having very loose stools two days ago.  The
stool is very "mucusy" and clear.  One of the ferrets was vomiting.  We did
take them in to the clinic (an emergency clinic at night) and the vet gave
the one vomiting a shot to calm his stomach (which has seemed to help - the
vomiting has stopped).  All three are on amforol liquid to help stiffen
their stools, as the vet found no parasites in the stool (one fuzzie
decided to go on the vet, gave her a good sample!).
 
We are stumped as to what may be causing this.  Initially, we thought it
might be a reaction the annual distemper shot.  BUT only two got the shot
and this was 2 days after their shot and all 3 are sick.  None have fevers,
energy level is slightly below normal, all are eating and drinking.  None
were dehydrated and the vet said they all looked healthy.
 
If anyone can help shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
