The only times we have had to give medication were both with under-weight ferrets who needed supplementation. That being the case, we mixed the crushed pills with a teaspoon of heavy cream, and both ferrets loved getting their meds! Depending on the medication, the medical problems, and the ferret's tastes, there should be a similar method available in most cases. Talk to your vet and ask what supplementation he would recommend and consider using that to deliver the meds. Just my thoughts. Debbie [Posted in FML issue 5093]
