Same thing has happened to my ferret. Pretty big chunks of foamy fries were visible in her stool. Additionally, one of the ferrets had vomited twice after given foamy fries, and foamy fry material was present there too. I no longer allow them to have foamy fries for fear of a blockage. Same goes for chew weasles. All of the ferrets love them, but I just can't chance it. They get other brands of kibble for treats instead. They seem to like it just as much.
Just a piece of information that may or may not be important here: two of my ferrets have been diagnosed with IBD via biopsy. One of them still has it (based on biopsy again) even though all symptoms have vanished...
