For diarrhea I give my ferrets a small amount of regular strength pepto. Serena the ferruppy who has mega-e also gets pepto to coat her esophagus. She thinks it is a treat. BUT for those that don't want to give pepto, there is Pet Pectillin. Contains pectin and kaolin (the old formula of Kaopectate contained this ingredient). I use this too and it has worked well for us. I buy mine at Omaha vaccine <http://www.omahavaccine.com/product_details.asp?display=full&cid=0&itemid=01310&itemname=Pet+Pectillin> tle www.ferretfamilyservices.org [Posted in FML 6445]
