Hi Marhee, I learned a lot from this site; http://www.ferretuniverse.com/ Let me guess, the stuff your ferret hates is Flagyl?...I use Amoxy and Carafate/Sufrulcate{sp}...Anyway, learned everything I know about IBD and Ulcers and how to treat them from this site...I have had very good luck with Amoxy 2x day and Carafate 4x day, every day until they are eating on their own and poops are better. Sometimes it takes a long time and you have to do this for a while. My ferrets will take this mix better than most anything...I break the carafate pill into 1/8th pieces, then crush the 1/8 piece and mix with a bit of water in a medicine syringe. Mine take it real good..When the time comes for Amoxy dose, I mix it right in with Carafate....I do this, then about 20/30 minutes later I feed soup... Usually feed soup/chicken baby food. Works great for me, but is a lot of work and timely, Vets start with Flagyl I think, if I remember right, it works faster. I don't like stressing mine out anymore than need be, so I opted for long haul with something they would like the taste of... Good luck, hope this helps you...
