We haven't done a barium yet but that might be the next step is she doesn't improve. Are there any other symtoms associated with a hair ball or an ulcer?
She is eating, drinking and pooping okay and her stools are normal. We are off the antibiotics now. She is still not feeling well but the Vet thinks that the antiobiotics are not going to help if they haven't made a difference already. So, it's probably an IBD flare up, a hairball or an ulcer. I'm changing her food to Walthams duck and rice which was recomended though I'm not that keen on it because it lists the fat content as 9% and the meat source is ducky by-products - not keen about by-products. I'd rather see human grade meat as the first ingredient.
Does anyone else know of a good food that has the right ratios for ferrets, no corn or wheat and an alternative meat source? Not chicken or turkey.
Thanks! nancy
