Well, this is my first paranoid question. (I'm surprised I lasted over a week.) Rocky had large, firm stool the first few days when I brought him home. About three days after I brought him home, I saw him with, and promptly removed from him, one of those 'super-balls', very bouncy, and too large for him to get his teeth on. On close inspection, there were a few nicks out of it, smaller than a grain of rice. They seemed awfully small, so I considered everything okay. I also trimmed Rocky's nails using the Ferretone-on-the-tummy-trick. I'd previously only given out Ferretone a drop at a time, but a few squirts were necessary to get the job done. (But no more than a teaspoon.) I noticed yesterday evening that Rocky's stool was small, and somewhat slimy. (Not green runs like ECE.) Rocky's only 10 weeks old, and I'm wondering if the softened stool is a case of a little too much ferretone, a little too quick, or something more serious. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Justin. (reply to me via eMail in the interest of speed - Thx) [Posted in FML issue 1889]
