Debbie,
I crush the tablet and either put it in his baby food or mix it with some
Nutri-Cal. My hob has been on this regimen (along with the daily dosages
of Pred) for about 2-3 months now to combat his ulcers, intestinal
problems and inflammatory bowel disease. He is a smaller hob at 2-3 lbs.
and I would imagine that dosage would depend on the weight of the ferret.
You can check with your vet what would be a good dosage for your ferret.
I was so excited when I heard that they had come out with a chewable
Pepto... no more Pink ferret and a Pink kitchen!!
