My ferret takes lasix, caramel flavored and hates it. Prednilisone, peanut
butter flavored and hates it. Sulfracate, bubblegum flavored, hates it.
Enalapril, I don't recall the flavor, but you guessed it, hates it. However, she
is also taking pediatric digoxin, it is green and smells like apple, she
tolerates that one. Every morning and every evening is a struggle with the
"yuckies". She now even turns her nose up at the ferretone, nutrical, or a 1/2 of a
raisin afterwards.

Help! My ferret is on Lasix, digoxin, enalapril, prednilisone and
sulfracate. Treating insulinoma and cardiomyopathy. She refuses to eat! I have tried
everything I know. She will not eat any kind of kibble. I have ground kibble
with water and chicken baby food, no.
Plain chicken baby food watered down to a broth, no. Tried, beef, lamb,
turkey and ham baby food, no. Bob C's duck soup, no. Tried to give her some
Ensure, won't touch it. An occasional lick of Nutrical is about it, beside a
tiny, tiny piece of a grape (smaller than my pinkie nail), which she gets after
her "yuckies".
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
