Hi....
I wrote, a while back, about a ferret that wouldn't stop eating bedding. I
thought I'd removed all flannel, but I must have missed one. I found one w/a
softball size hole chewed in it.
I think she has passed all the material, but now, she refuses to eat on her
own. I remember someone writing about one of the cheaper kitten foods to
stimulate the appetite. Does anyone remember what that was?
She is becoming afraid of me because I'm force feeding her .... it breaks my
heart. Does anyone have any other ideas for finicky eaters? Crushed chow
w/Ferretone, duck soup, baby food, canned tuna, even lunch meats, have all been
tried. Any other suggestions? She still plays and isn't grinding her teeth so
I'm hoping she's not uncomfortable. I'm sure I could be wrong. I'm at a
loss, though, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Y-
