Subject: What to give for diarrhea?

My ferret, Bailey, has had diarrhea off and on for several months. He is going in for surgery in a few weeks for adrenal and pancreatic problems. The vet gave me some pink stuff to give to him for his diarrhea but I am almost out. The stuff he gave me is quite expensive for just a little bottle. I was wondering if there is a safe and effective over-the-counter product I can give him instead? And if so, how much? He seems to do well for 3 or 4 days each time I give him what the vet gave me. I just want to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated before his surgery.

Thanks!
