>I have a male ferret that suddenly became ill late last night. He
had one episode of diarrhea (brown and mucusy) around 2 AM PT. He
won't eat his normal kibble (Totally Ferret and Iam's Kitten Food),
won't take his pedialyte or water and seems to becoming dehydrated.
Hopefully by now you've gotten your kid to the vet. When Peanut did that, I
immediately put him on a liquid diet of #2 chicken baby food and water to
make a broth. took a little coaxing (rubbing some on his gums and having
him lick some off my fingers) but then he attacked it with greath
enthusiasm. The main thing is keeping him hydrated until the vet can
determine what's wrong!
Hope he gets better soon.
