Subject: How much Pedialyte?
To: <ferrethealth@smartgroups.com>
Hi Everyone,
I have a ferret with chronic diarrhea and we still haven't figured out the
cause (the more detailed fecal test still showed nothing) so I'm going to
try to treat it as IBD I guess. I'd like to give her some Pedialyte to help
her with her dehydration. My question is this: should I just add it to her
water? If so, how much (it's a 32 oz water bottle)? If I should give it to
her directly, how much? I'm giving her .5cc of Imodium liquid as needed at
this point, but I'm wondering how many times a day I should give it to her
max and how many hours apart? She weighs almost exactly one pound.
Thanks!
Deana
