Dear Sky:

You will find that this is a wonderful group.

Ulcers are a very common and real problem, especially in older ferrets - and most of all, are life-threatening. Because we encounter them o often, we often get complacent about their treatment.

Can you refresh my memory about her current diet and the dosing of the Carafate. It is obvious that you are giving here a lot of TLC, but sometimes the right bland diet and the appropriate timing and dosage of Carafate can really help.

With kindest regards,

Bruce Williams, DVM
