Hello all! I don't know if you will remember my post but I am the one that has a ferret with an ulcer that just did not seem to want to leave my poor baby. I have some good news. He was so ill this past Labor Day and was on numerous meds for the ulcer.Now this week while I was visiting my first grandbaby and had a ferret sitter taking care of my two fur kids,when I came back she told me Fatbert was eating!! solid food!!! Seems he decided to eat the food she has out for her cats.He gulped down all of the poor cats food and then went into the closet to help himself to the rest of the bag. He is now eating and please don't flame me for the poor qualityy of some of the food..Please remember before this week my ferret was eating only Gerber's stage 2 turkey or lamb and whipping cream and water along with nutrical.so now he is eating a mixture of Iams Kitten food, Purina Kitten Chow and 8 in one ferret food..I fill his bowl in the morning and by the afternoon its all gone so I have been refilling it and am thrilled he is finally on a more solid diet.I am still trying to look for some ways to fatten him back up and if anyone has any suggestions,please email me privately. Thanks again for all of the great ideas you always seem to give me I know I can ALWAYS rely on all of my fellow ferret lovers.. have a great evening!! ferret hugs to all, Michele and Fatbert [Posted in FML issue 3221]
