I've read so many posts about people forcing medication into their ferret and the messy results. Try mixing the med with something the ferret likes. Ferretvite or Laxatone works well. My vet told me not to worry about giving medicine with Laxatone as the med will still absorb. I've also had good luck mixing with Dermcaps (a fatty acid supplement my little guy receives to keep his pads from drying out). There was only one med I couldn't trick him into, Carafate. He was doing so well after the surgery anyway that the vet said don't worry about it. I hope this helps a few people.
