Subject: Putting on weight?
My ferret, Lucy, has been sick recently (3 vets have been unable to
determine the cause as of yet) and stopped eating, so I have been
feeding her duck soup to get her weight up again. So far she has not
gained much back in the past two weeks. The duck soup I make for her
consists of moistened IAMS Kitten, Gerbers turkey & rice, Gerbers
chicken & gravy, ferretvite, Ensure, ferretone (for taste), and a can of
chicken pieces, all blended together. Is there something else I can add
to that or give seperately to help increase her weight? I feed her one
'ice cube" size of the duck soup twice per day and she loves it! She is
starting to eat her own food now too but not a lot. She is also taking
prednisone which should increase her appetite but hasn't so far. Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
