My rescues Bonnie & Clyde are approx. 4YO MF 'products.' Bonnie is very excitable and energenic on average, while Clyde has always taken a bit of coaxing to get wound up and play. Lately, Clyde has experienced diarrhoea on increasing occasions, and exhibits a lack of energy. He has lost about 5-10% weight since Christmas. Having had 7 prior fuzzies since 1996, I know some health issue is coming/already here. Their diet consists of Zupreem Premium; 8-In-1 Ultra-Blend Advanced Nutrition; and Waltham Kitten (...major sin? no reaction for 1.5 years). Their treats are Ferretone regularly (2x a day at bedtime), and Nutrical and Laxatone v.sparingly as needed. Purified water, and that's it. (...and stolen dry cat food on occasion) I need the collective knowledge from your recent experiences, as well as the time tested standards like the 'duck recipe' that I cannot find at this time. Clyde will not eat chicken babyfood at the moment, as many of my marginal ones did in the past. I know I have no need to explain how precious ferrets are to you all; I just hope that something can help him (and me) improve Quality Of Life til the inevitable end. I know MF'ers have had a bad rap with adrenal and other diseases, but Clyde is My Ferret and not just Marshall Farms output!!! Please post response to [log in to unmask] directly, Thank You. Hug the fuzzies today, twice. Missing Miss Katt, Susie, Rocky, Calvin, Snowy, Starr, and Hobbes while they play at The Bridge. Cherishing Bonnie & Clyde. [Posted in FML issue 4391]
