For the first time, I may have an ECE ferret. I got three new MF kits last
month. They all seem very healthy and happy; eating well, drinking and playing
well etc. When they had their first vet visit two weeks ago, I mentioned to
our very good vet that someone seemed to have lighter and more watery poop,
but the vet didn't think it was a problem. I have figured out that it is
Clementine who has the lighter poop. She also had one round of vomiting on her
third day in our home. I had reported that to the vet also, but it was thought
that the vomiting was due to her adjustment to a new environment. She hasn't
appeared to vomit since. The reason I am confused is that the poop is only
lighter sporadically, and it isn't usually green but just either a lighter beige
shade or yellowish. Occasionally it has a mucous-like appearance. Yesterday,
I saw Clementine go potty and it was greenish and slimy (just a small amount).
In other's experience, does this occasional stuff sound like ECE ? I have
read that young kits can be asymptomatic. She appears so very healthy.
Thanks for any input !!
