Hi,
Sorry you have a sick one. I would seperate them though so you don't have a house of fuzzy legged sickies. Maybe ask your Vet. what he suggests you feed him right now. I would think he might like duck soup since he's sick, alot of them do. You can ask your Vet. if thats fine to feed him right now. Good luck! Jeanne

Pippin is my 4-5 year old MF sable male - he is a rescue so the age is a guess. The vet noticed slight hair thinning at his vaccination appt. (possible adrenal symptoms). I was concerned about some bad poops and the vet did a culture. We received the test results and Pippin has been diagnosed with Campylobacter. It was explained as a primary GI pathogen (or possibly secondary) that is potentially contagious. This could explain the bad poops and why Pippin has seemed more tired lately. The vet prescribed Clavomox - .25 ccs 2x per day.
I think I should separate him from the girls but I dont want to cause him any extra stress. Anyone have any experience with Campylobacter? Should I try to give him chicken baby food to ease digestion? Im currently feeding them a mix of Totally Ferret, Zupreem & the Ferret Store brand food. Im still in my research phase. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for listening, Trish ~ Pippin, Zira & Hannah **missing Merry**
