Subject: Pawing at mouth

I recently got a new baby ferret. My Tr is being treated for ECE with
Clavamox and when I give it to him he paws at his mouth, opens it and
paws inside. So I tried Amoxicillin and he does the same thing. I
have to scruff him and he will take Chicken baby food mixed with fat
free milk (warmed). His sister keeps grinding her teeth and she
loves the baby food and will eat nothing but treats as long as I am
sitting there with her. Why does that happen? What causes ECE when
a new ferret is introduced to an existing ferrets.
