Tammy, obviously, you have read enough to realize that it may or may not be ECE. Now, you need to get the kit to the vet for a check-up and have stool checks done. There are many possible causes of green stools (just as there are of seedy stools), and if you are lucky if there is an infecting organism some of it will show up in the samples. Treatments vary according to cause. Given how young your's is I have to wonder what the living conditions were before. Some DO come from pet stores with infections. Warp came here after being returned TWICE to a pet store from separate abusive homes; besides needing a lot of help for the extreme fears that resulted she was also infected with coccidea. She was a "pay the distributor's price" situation. The pet store refused to treat their animals after coccidea was found, but coccidea can have dangerous and sometimes fatal blooms, so we contacted both the breeder and the state office which licences pet stores. No choice. If they'd treated it would have been a lot easier for all, and the meds are not expensive, either, The state found coccidea in a number of their carnivorous mammals (multiple species) and forced them to treat and place the remaining mammals elsewhere without destruction; they transferred them to their other store after treating. The state also prohibited them from carrying any mammals at the location for 6 months and increased their inspections as a punishment. Marshall Farms refused to sell to them until they went with larger housing for the ferrets, free of cedar, so half a year later they got one of those open-topped huge hexagonal plastic cages that also keep the inquisitive fingers of children with panicy parents safe from kit teething. (There are no optimal housing answers for kits but entire cages of kits have been forced to be destroyed and tested by freaking parents now and then when a child sticks in fingers and pokes.) Being so widely spread it's anyone's guess where the coccidea first came from but it was all over in that store, and had probably passed into a number of households by the time it was caught, infecting other animals. Have to agree with Ronnie: depending on the subset of interest there are multiple "best" vets. She mentioned Bruce and Charlie, but if some different things were of interest I'd think of Debbie Kemmerer, or Kathy Quesenberry, or a number of others. The best surgeon we ever found was Hanan Caine who now is in The Village at St. something vet hospital. It's a broad field with many different talents, abilities, and pieces of knowledge needed -- leaves a lot of room for many to be the "best" at certain subsets.

Errrr, MC, there actually HAVE been some reports here and privately over the years of ferrets with blockages blamed on dried bananas. Perhaps you've got a kind of 'naner which is friendlier than some. What the chips in that food are like, I don't know; only know that carrot pieces and dried bananas have been mentioned in relation to blockages. [Posted in FML issue 3160]
