Eating poop is a natural vice that many puppies perform.  Our own tash used
to clean out the litterbox every once in a while.
 
Most dogs grow out of it, with a little discipline.  The solution is not to
give drugs to all of your pets, or even your puppy.  Store-bought medicines
are not the solution in this case, and it is not something that I would
recommend to give to your ferrets.
