As usual remember that I am NOT a vet. Re: fighting ECE ferrets: Not only are ferrets sometimes more inclined to be grumpy when ill -- just like humans, but sometimes they lose their scent or temporarily have it altered and they sometimes don't seem to recognize each other. (The problem may therefore be temporary.) Babies sometimes have quite mild cases of ECE, but there is also the possibility that the store itself -- cages, floor, etc. was contaminated and that the babies in the store just hadn't broken with the disease from their own exposure, yet. We've had excellent results by replacing the useful bacteria with yogurt containing live cultures given as treat. Preferred flavor depends on the ferret. Unfortunately, our vet has also seen vaccination reactions with Galaxy -- in fact, he once said he'd personally seen more with that. Some others have seen more with the Fervac.
