I apologize if I am repeating anything already said, but... I have successfully been able to give flagyl to my ferrets by having the vet put it in a capsule (the kind that dissolves). they can do this two ways: either by cutting it up themselves or by calling the prescription into a pharmacy. The latter is more exact, of course. Putting it in a capsule requires a pill gun, but I've found that coating the capsule with ferretone and scruffing the ferret works. Make sure the capsule the vet uses is as small as possible though. This method is a lot less painful than trying to give them the oral suspension or the tablet. The first time I tried the tablet my ferret Zooey threw up all over my hand and the floor. I thought I could mask the taste by giving it to her with peanut butter all over it; now, 3 years later, she still won't touch peanut butter (she used to LOVE it). The oral suspension was no more successful with Linus when he got sick. Since then my ferrets have been prescribed flagyl at least six times (different occasions, not all ferrets each time) and in capsule form I've never had another problem.
