1. Can my ferret have water while fasting?



Absolutely - never remove their water unless your vet directs you
to.



2. I know I am suppose to fast my ferret for 3-4 hours before
testing his blood sugar. Question is if I feed him duck soup at
12 noon, then remove his food bowl and be at the vet's office at
4pm for the blood test, does that consitute as fasting?




Sure does.
