Our puppy thinks ferret poop is candy.  Yuck!  We've found a product that
works keeping him from eating his own, but I'm not about to give any to
the ferrets until I know it is safe.  Here's the info:
 
STOP - A natural chewable digestive supplement in stopping foul smelling
odors and stool eating in dogs.
 
Ingredients:  Dicalcium Phosphate, Glutamic Acid, Yucca Snidicera,
Liver, Corn Syrup, Dipotassium Phosphate, Chlorophyll, Oil of Peppermint
 
Casey, the puppy, thinks the pills are rather yummy, so if safe I would
like to grind them up and put it on the ferrets' food.  How important would
the dosage be?  Would this be safe with free-fed ferrets, since I can't
control the dosage completely?  (Dog dosage is two pills on the first day
then one a day thereafter)
 
Thanks!
 
- Nancy

[Moderator's note: Another product is "Forbid!" Fairly harmless, I
understand - Forbid is a product that helps digest proteins since the
protein-less product is less appealing to the dog.  I'd check with your
vet first though, of course.  BIG]
