Hi, Sarah, and everyone else,
 
We've found two things that really help put weight on our ferrets.  First
is hand feeding them Bob Church's Chicken Gravy.  Second is offering
FerretVite as a treat.
 
With this regimen, our Pertwee, who had two adrenalectomies five weeks
apart and then went through hell while we tried to get his electrolytes
right, gained 70 grams in a single week.  Of course, he had lost a
tremendous amount of weight, so his body needed to add a bunch quickly.
Still, when we've had sick or recovering ferrets before, the gravy and/or
Ferretvite has always helped.
 
Oh, and yes, Pertwee is now doing very well indeed.
 
Good luck!
Caity and the exceptional eight
