Hi Tansy,
Actually all 3 meds that your ferret is on can
cause diarrhea, so it is hard to say that the
lasix is the one causing it. Liquid poops and
gas are not a good indication that he has a
stomach problem. Does he have other signs
such as vomiting, lack of appetite, pawing at
his mouth, drooling, etc? Have you seen any
improvement since changing to the injectable
lasix? Remember Carafate is the "ulcer band
aid", so it will not help with diarrhea and gas.
I would suggest a consult with the cardiologist
before adding other meds to his treatment.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
