I'm not a vet, but I'm pretty familiar with those three things, in
ferret-friendly form...
Marshall puts out a probiotic powder: "Marshall Ferret ProBiotic &
Digestive Tract Conditioner"
My local pet store carries it in the ferret section, and it's also
available from theferretstore.com
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (the least processed of the different types of
olive oil) contains a lot of antioxidants, and ferretone is a great
source of fatty acids. You can mix them 50/50, and my ferrets love
it....
With an boy I used to have, with digestive problems, I would take a
1/4 tsp of the oil blend, and mix the probiotic powder into it. He'd
lap it up right out of a teaspoon.
