Sorry to post again but I just did research and didn't realize how many results would come up. I found a library of information from vets, and shelters and other fact sheets on ECE. I read what seems like something temporary for Liam. He is still eating, drinking, playing, and the stools come whenever he seems most stressed from either our schedules changing on his play time and etc. He would get the stool before after we moved from place to place, and the last two weeks we have been so busy with a Play production that we haven't let them out to play as much as we normally would. It does seem to be one daily in the litter box but from what the sites say it will pass in a couple weeks or less. If he does stop drinking and eating and sleeps all the time then i know it's serious and to take him to the vet. The only ferret vets around this area are about 2 hours away so we have to be pretty sure it's dire straits before we take off. Still, any more information on you r expierences will be appreciated. At least now I'm not panicing. http://www.members.tripod.com/throughthetube/ peace, Julia and the fuzzy quatro [Posted in FML issue 3595]
