Hi Robyn, Any way to put her in a separate cage so you can really watch her?
IF she does have ece your other fuzzies are already exposed, try not to
worry too much though. My vet recommended 1/4 teaspoon pepto bismol every 12
hours and it helped my new fuzzie enormously. Also I'm assuming your going
to try and stick with the new food. She'll need time to adjust to all the
changes in her life. Diahrhea makes them tired. Please be sure she's eating
her meals regularly by measuring it out and checking to see if she eats. A
missed meal is dangerous for a sick ferret. Even if you have to hand feed
her or coax her to eat or as a last resort force feed her. A visit to the
vet would be ideal if you can and if the vet is ferret knowledgable but I
hope my suggestions help. Any questions, email me! Janie PS Try to give her
some one on one bonding time with you as well as bringing her out for fresh
air and sunshine(supervised) Good luck!
