I am not a vet, but if he will eat the chicken baby food, I would
just stick with that. If he likes nutrical, maybe add a little of
that, also. ANd I wouldn't bother telling the vet he won't eat
the
A/D. The important thing is to have him eating something. As he
starts to feel better, he may expand on what he is willing to eat.
Well, speaking as a vet, I would want to know that my patient was
not eating
the food recommended for it - that's important to know. Many
ferrets like
a/d, some do not. But I agree with what others have said, baby food
is fine
for quite a while.
