I might be being paranoid, but yesterday my ferret Jill made a leap for
an unattended table and got access to a bowl of milk and a box of nearly
empty Lucky Charms cereal (the type with mini marshmallows).  When I came
in the room she had her head in the box, but I don't think she had time to
eat much as I hadn't been gone from the room long.  Within 15 minutes she
threw up a white and clear liquid substance.  Then I gave her some
kittymalt laxative just in case.
 
She has been 100% energy wise and has been eating.  This morning her
stomach (always nice and full) seemed too full to me.  When I hold her it
is noticibly firmer and fuller, kind of distended.  I compared her belly
to her sister's and it does seem a bit firmer to the touch.  I may be
wrong about her stomach, I don't usually pay that much attention to the
exact fullness of her belly - but I wanted to ask just in case.  I gave
her more kittymalt today and will call the vet this morning.  Just thought
someone might know about the ferrets body reacton to injesting (possibly)
those marshmallow bits.
 
Thank you!
