Subject: Not eating --- Looking very skinny
It may be something else completely, how are her
stools? Any vomiting, any pawing at the mouth,etc.
She may have a foreign body or something completely
different so I think a vet visit is in order. Depression
I would think would settle in sooner than a month,
but I guess another consideration.
I have taken in about 12 ferrets last year with no
previous history and put them right on my ferret
food without problems, I had no clue what they
were eating. I don't think the food change was the problem,
if it was she should have been chowing down the old food.
