any advise and/or help in any way would be greatly appreciated, our almost 4 yr old ferret has inflamatory bowel disease or so we suppect. this started in early january. his weight loss is
apparent. our vet fisrt put him on antibiotic about 2/3 weeks ago, we are not sure if there was actual improvement because his stools are almost normal one day then extremely watery the next the same with appetite and energy its up and down. he is now on 0.3 ml of prednisolone (which is such a struggle to give)we
are still waiting for any improvement which last more than two days. we wonder if we should change his diet now or if there is anything else which can be done, its obvious with the weight loss he not getting enough nutrients.
