Hi,
We took in a female ferret a short time ago. When we got her she had been
eating cheap cat food. She was skinny but lively.
I thought with good food and exercise she would gain weight and really
thrive.
I isolated her away from my other ferrets for a while and all seemed fine.
Then I introduced her to them. They all appear to be getting along fine.
She still is not gaining weight and now someone out of the bunch is having
some really foul smelling stools. I've yet to discover which one but she is the
only one that seems to be
unhealthy.
Any thoughts? I'm going to make her another appointment but just wanted some
insight before hand.
Thanks in advance,
Robin in NC
