Please post this corrected information on Parepectolin... It is NOT the "the clay preparation in Kaopectate". The clay in Kaopectate is called "Kaolin", & Kaolin is also an ingredient in Parepectolin. Parepectolin is essentially Kaolin (like Kaopectate) PLUS Paregoric, an opiate ingredient (& old-time remedy) used to control diarrhea. I do no know anything about the safety of opiates in ferrets, so please do not substitute Parepectolin for Kaopectate without checking with your veterinarian. Dooks to all, Lisa (Pharmacist) [Posted in FML issue 5232]
