So with it taking forever to try and get him back on kibble, I wont know really if he's
allergic or not, right? And you mentioned "z/d" food. Is that like A/D food, and
should I try adding a/d food to the gravy for the extra nutrients?

Also, what are the odds that he's allergic to all poultry? Right now the kibble is a
mixture of Shepard and Green (chicken) and Zupreem (which has the fish meal). I
would have to change everyone's kibble if he were allergic, correct? Eventually he
will be on all kibble. He's actually been eating a little of it the last couple of days on
his own, though not much.

Now, if i switch him to turkey gravy and the loose stools firm up, does that mean
he's allergic to chicken? Another poster said their ferret's stools firmed up after
switching to turkey so I'm wondering if that had to do with an allergy, or if it was
just one of those things?

Thanks.
