More abnormal poops... DAMNIT! Now both of the ferrets are leaving slimy green poohs in the pan. I have cleaned the litterbox and will be taking a sample of pooh that will be in the pan by morning to a vet near me. Maybe this is a ray of hope... the pooh is multi-colored... a bit of it is slimy green, the other bit of it appears normal. If it turns out to be ECE, then the ferrets are going straight to the vet and are going to STAY there until they're cured... I just don't think I am at home long enough to give them the care they deserve. For the vets out there, here is a brief history of what has been going on: Last night (Monday) Cayanne (17 week old sprite) left a totally slimy green pooh in the pan. Approximately three days prior, I had introduced a new toy to the ferrets... a hose similar to that of a dryer's vent. The day after the toy came in, I gave my fuzzybutts the run of the den (the cage room). Today I noticed that Tenaka (17 week old gib) left a multi-colored pooh in the pan, part normal, part slimy green. The hose seems clawed, and most likely some of it was eaten. Not much, because I can account for most of the hose. It's not shredded, just has holes in it now. Fluid intake is normal, food intake is normal, activity level may be a bit on the low side, but then that could be a result of them being able to run around all day. Pooh VOLUME is normal, just green and slimy. Again, the only dietary change has been Iams Adult cat food from Kitten food. Could all this be caused by a change in diet? Would it be better for the fuzzies to switch back? I have put both ferrets back in the cage together (I haven't the facilities to separate them, and I think it too late for that) and will be keeping them there during the day in order to minimize any foreign material consumption, and to get them to rest and conserve their strength. Any and all help would be appreciated, as now that they are both doing this, I am getting scared. Fearfully yours, Bryan Hall [Posted in FML issue 1675]
