Thanks, Janie.
I've had Kalli since February. I don' think she's stressed about her surroundings too much anymore. She gets along with the other 4 ferrets well, plays and sleeps with them. She especially has a closeness to Rocky. It took her a little while to adjust to me. She's not really a snuggler, she loves her freedom and I'm trying to give her more of that supervised freedom. I had her at the vet again today, fecal is yellow-mucousy, but it was negative for anything. She eats okay. We're going to try the Metronidazole for 4 more weeks and then try to slowly take her either off of it or down to a very small dosage and see if it's any better. I have them on Zupreem food. I might try the Pepto again, although the first time we used it she didn't like it at all!
Well, thanks for your input & ferret kisses to your newbie!
