Jay, my male does grind his teeth quite a bit. He has for the last couple of years. He is prone to getting ulcers. After being put on Prednisolone, he started having bad diarrea. So his vet also prescribed carafate, to coat his tummy. And that did help quite a bit.

My female just started eating her kibble yesterday on a regular basis. Less stress on me.

Thank you for the helpful info. If anybody has any other ideas on how to get a ferret to eat on his own, which has been force feed for the past month. Please advise.
