Hi ya'll, I have never posted before but here goes: I have a ferret that I have had for 4 years, for the last 6 months she has suffered direra (sorry about the spelling) I have a very good vet, she was recommended in "Ferret Mag" so I know that she knows what she is doing, anyway my little girl has had every known test known to my vet and she comes up NEG on everyone of them. The keopectate is not helping much any more, she gets .70cc 3 times a day, we started out with just .10cc 2 times a day. What I want to know is there anything else I could give her to help. May-be imodium I just don't know, she drinks bubblegum pedilite all the time to keep her hydrated, and so far it is working. She has been checke d for IBD, worms,ADV and verious other tests, even blood work, whatever she has is not contagous because I have 5 other fuzzbutts and none of them have this problem. Anyway if anyone could help or make a suggestion as to what to do I would be thankful. Mag and the mini monsters Try using tylan. Get the powdered version, not the injectable kind of either Jeffers Pets or a local feed/grange store. Mix a pinch in the water bottle or in the daily duck soup.. Change the water every day. Tylan's off label is used to control diarreah in dogs and cats and also works in ferrets. Tylan is a chicken/bird drug. It is a low level antibiotic that also stimulates appetite.
