Greetings all from CA! Thank you Tammy for the information and for not flaming. I ended up paying $45.00 for a compounding pharmacy to mix-up and ship me some cherry flavored pediapred. Unfortunatley, Winnie absolutely hates the stuff and I do not blame her. I never knew my skinny little girl could make such grimaces on her face! Poor thing. She is not having a hard time eating and appears to still have a decent appetite but she has lost a significant amount of weight. Is there something I can buy to feed her to increase her weight? Somone once mentioned some type of people dietary supplimental drink like ensure or something similar. Would that work? What about baby food? Is that high enough in fat for ferrets? If so what is a good kind to buy? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Good Health to you and yours! [PA] [Posted in FML issue 3189]
