Hi Les and Eric, >We've tried changing his food, etc all, but still no appetite. Butter had ECE (we think) and now two years later will sometimes stop eating. I have noticed if we use the syringe and feed some of the AD cat/dog canned food (prescription from the vet - $1.00 a can) it seems to give him a lot more energy and he will sometimes start back on regular food again. If he still isn't eating enough we give him Gerbers Baby Food (2) [the ones for older babies - the labels are blue] either chicken or turkey. We warm half a jar in the microwave for 14 seconds (test for hot spots!) and then feed it off our finger to him. If he is really, really not eating I stir in a little ferretone. Dr. Williams is a good source on feeding the sick ferret. I also buy some kitten food and let him steal it. Forbidden food is the best. When I hear him crunching I know he is getting better. Hope this helps. Patti Butter "Mom is a good cook!" Ginger "sniff "That stuff is for babies." No trees were harmed in the production of this message.
