Not to me it doesn't. If there are two drugs in the world that a ferret
hates, they are metronidazole and pepto. Giving them those two drugs is
so stressful that if they don't have ulcers, it will give them ulcers.
Plus that drug routine takes 4 weeks to kill ulcers. A much easier drug
combination to give for ulcers is amoxi, Biaxin and Carafate for two
weeks.
