Hi Everyone! i remember a while back some people were asking about the diahrrea with what looks like seeds in it, but i never found any replies or answers to that, Liza had that type of diahrea followed by some weight loss, and now Truls is having it too, he has already lost some weight, and even though the Vet didn't think he was too thin (before he started having diahrea) he is only half of the ferret he used to be, he used to be really healthy looking and chubby, and then he had surgery for intestinal blockage, he recovered well, but didn't put on all the weight he had lost, then 2 monts later he fell on a sharp edge and tore the skin on his belly, we rushed him to the vet, and he stitched him up, again he lost some weight, which he hasn't put back on, and now this diahrrea... What is it? how can i treat it? I have been giving them extra Ferret-Vite, goat milk, whip cream, to fatten them up a little, but it doesn't seem to help, they put on some weight, but if i stop they loose it again, I went to a ferret club meeting 2 weeks ago, and saw some of the fattest shiniest and most beautiful ferrets, who all of them eat Iams Kitten, and nothing else, no treats but an occasional raisin, Truls eats Kaytee-Forty Diet, Liza eats Iams Kitten, and Totally Ferret and a little of Sheppard and Greene, and Lucky only Sheppard and Greene, they all refuse anything any other food, Liza and Truls don't have winter coat, in fact they never had last winter either (they are 1 year and a half) and they have oily coats, even a few days after a bath, Lucky is my only really longhaired ferret and her fur is much dryer, Am i doing something wrong here? Am i overdoing it? Any suggestions as of how to fatten upp, and treat this diahrrea? Please reply to me directly. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas Josephine [Posted in FML issue 2536]
