I've got two ferrets that just keep on getting diarrhea. This has been going on intermittenly for well over a month. They have semi normal poops most of the time but at least 1 to 3 times it will be mostly water. One's is brownish, the other yellowish. I have ten ferts altogether. Out of those 6 went through one round but stayed better after treatment with Amoxy, Pepto, Metronidazole. Loki was the first to get it. Four days later the others. His symptoms went away the third day and stayed better for about a week, then relapsed. He and Rebel are one their third round of 7 day treatments. They are still having diarrhea. They play fine but seem to tire little more easily now. I got them to eat extra helpings of Bob's chicken gravy and also chicken baby food. I thought Rebel had lost weight but now seems to be almost back to normal. I've read it can take up to four weeks if this is like the heliobactor. Has anyone experienced this?
