I'm not sure, but you can get a similar electrolyte drink in a powder
form and just mix up what you need each time. One brand is Kaolyte, I
think. I don't much like giving electrolyte replacer except when the
ferret has diarrhea or is vomiting. If they are just dehydrated because
they are not drinking enough, I prefer to give sub-Q Ringers, about 60
ml per day.
