So determining wether or not the problem is diet or IBD related will be through
elimination (no pun intended)? For instance, testing for other causes of loose stool
such as parasites, then changing diet, say, from chicken to turkey, and from turkey
to.....? If, for example, he's allergic to poultry, what would he eat if he wont eat kibble?

When IBD is present there is no one cure-all, and ferrets who respond to some
treatments may have those approaches fail after a while. This is likely partly because
IBD is a diagnosis of exclusion: if another cause is not found IBD is the term used, so
the level of the problem and the factors feeding into it can vary.
