I know he looked at the sample but not sure what all he tested for. He said he didn't
see anything "bad" like blood, etc. so wanted to start with simple first.
The 1 to 3 times is that the first month or so most poops were formed but still too
loose. Only 1-3 were totally water. Now they have more, especially Rebel. I know in
humans antibiotics can actually cause diarrhea. Is this possible in ferrets as well? to
make it worse? I know they are really starting to get stressed about the meds. They
were doing good but it's been so much they have had it. I'm going to call my vet
tomorrow and see what he wants to try next.
I keep the food stashes cleaned up. I let it stay for a few days then remove. They are
in the process of trying to replenish it now...;-)
