Hi Everyone, Well, I have gotten several requests for the recipe I fed to Stanley. This is based on a version of Gary Holiwicki's recipe for Timmy. I try to feed the basics or extra on a regular basis. Most of the ingredients are now more readily available than before, so you can usually come up with a suitable substitute if needed. My gang really loves it, even the cats. Well, except for Nicky Boy, who doesn't eat anything but kibble, no matter what I do. So he gets force fed 2-3 droppers to help out his gut (which he needs with his slow moving bowel, you know gets bloated). hugs, Mags Here is what I used for Stan the Man: Stanley's Recipe The basics: 1 jar Earth's Best Baby food, meat variety Water to thin (I guesstimate) 1 heaping teaspoon Kitten Milk Replacer Powder (I have had a hard time finding this now, so I leave it out) 1 teaspoon Pet Tinic Extras: 1/4 teaspoon vitamin C powder 1/4 teaspoon electrolyte powder for cats and dogs (from Omaha Vaccine) 1 teaspoon Missing Link Cat Supplement (Petscriptions 1 800 774-7397) 1 capsule taurine 1 teaspoon acidolpholous powder (don't give at the same time as colloid silver, it will just kill the bacteria) 1 teaspoon Organic Flax Seed oil For ece or diarrhea: 1 crushed tablet Viraplex (Enzymatic Therapy 1800-783-2286) 3 droppers of Colloid Silver 1/2 can Ensure or Deliver (substituted for the water in the basic recipe) Mix together until smooth. I use one of those Braun hand held blenders, that look like an old fashion malt maker. If the ferret won't eat on his own out of a bowl, I hand feed or force feed with a baby's medicinal dropper. These have bulbs on one end and are marked in ml and cc, something like a mini turkey baster. If the ferret is really stubborn, I will make a little ferret burrito with a kitchen towel and force the dropper in the mouth. This is a case of swallow or drown. It may seem cruel, but is sometimes required. [Posted in FML issue 2547]
