I had a ferret with severe gas issues, secondary to a clostridium infection, and my vet had us give him the Gas-X formulated for infants. I can't remember the dosage, so that's something you'd have to talk to your vet about. The active ingredient in the Gas-X is simethicone. My ferret didn't seem to mind the taste of it--I think it gave him nearly immediate relief and he was able to make that association with the medication. Regina [Posted in FML 6110]
