Or 5 year old muffin , Ricky is going thru a period of very soft stools. He is eating and drinking, but his stools are too soft. They are not discoloured, not at all like an ECE stool. He isn't going any more often than before, but the stools are softer and really smell bad and he has dropped a few ounces of weight. There has been no change of food, or new fuzzie additions, no change of daily routine. He's still as active as he has always been. Any tips on getting his stools firmed up? Please, no flames about "Get him to a vet". Ferret knowledgeable vets are far and few between here. Feel free to reply by email.
