I had asked this a few days ago, and haven't received any responses, so I'll
try again.  This past weekend I found Floyd eating paper towels.  I don't
know how much he had eaten, but I'll guess and say that this was a fair
amount for a ferret.  I know that in hamsters (I guess I'm taking a shot in
the dark here) they cannot digest paper towels, and I know paper towels can
do a number on your plumbing.  So...what about in ferrets?  I've been pumping
him full of laxatone, but not much is coming out his back end.  I'm going to
get him into the vet Monday (which is their only opening), but is there
anything I should be doing?  Could these pass on their own?  Or do paper
towels not break down in a ferret's tummy?  Thanks in advance for any help
you can give me.
