Has he ever been given chicken,lamb or turkey baby food? If not, you might want to
try one of them and see if he'll eat it. Warm it up to room temp (or just a tad
warmer) and see if he'll lick it off your finger (they tend to respond better to that for
some reason). It's a bland diet, and would give you a chance to see if the diarrhea is
food related (I'm not saying it is, but might be worth a shot). If he likes it, you may
also find it easier to mix his meds in with the food. Depending on what the med is,
alot of ferrets don't notice the difference once it's mixed in with their food.
