Sometimes antibiotics can cause diarrhea or worsen it (clavamox, an amoxici=
llin-derived antibiotic, is often a culprit); I was just wondering if your =
vet recommended the amoxicillin, or if that was just something you had and =
decided to try. It's probably worth having a vet check him out before admi=
nistering any meds if this is going on...
Good luck!

"Hi folks. I got a flu shot last week, got sick and made most of my
ferrets sick (my rugs are a mess!). Anyway my oldest, Critter has me
worried. He's 7 1/2 years old. He stopped vomiting but his digestion
seems overly fast and he has diarrhea. I've been giving him Pepto Bismol
and Amoxicillian but it's going right through him. This morning he
literally pooped out Pepto Bismol. Does anyone have any suggestions on
what else may help? I've been assist feeding Nutrical diluted with water
to keep him hydrated and make sure he's getting some nutrients, duck soup
only makes him vomit."
