Hello FMLers. This is Amanda, the one who had the problems with the EVO. I switched to EVO since it and a few other brands were recommended by my vet. Before EVO I was feeding Kaytee Forti Diet. My vet said I was wasting my money on that food and that it was no good for my ferrets. After doing some research I found that he was right. I did my switch in about 6 weeks, gradually adding more EVO to the mix until it was all EVO. My first ferret started having problems almost immediately after adding the EVO. He had watery stools that smelled awful. So I took him and a fecal sample to the vet. He ended up getting on antibiotics because there was "too many active bacteria" in the intestine. My second ferret was fine until the mix was all EVO. I thought she was eating both EVO and Kaytee kibbles but turns out she was just picking out the kibbles of the Kaytee, her old food. She also began to show signs of watery stool. Everyone said watery stools were normal though and would go away if I waited. So I did. I waited about 3 months and instead of getting better the stools were getting worse and worse to the point that it was just diarrhea. At that point I decided to take her to the vet before matters got any worse. She had the same problem as the first and was put on antibiotics. They are fine now, regular stools, beautiful coats, and plenty of energy. They are still eating EVO since I had bought so many bags of it. I think I will continue with this food but maybe add Zupreem or something else to the mix as well. I do not refrigerate the food but the bags I bought are nowhere near the expiration dates. The food also looks and smells normal. I usually buy it from Ferret.com. I'm happy with the product but I just wish I would have known I would be paying around $200 in vet bills before I bought the food. [Posted in FML 7078]
