Thanks a lot for that Jenn, I'll definitly follow your advice. The vet said that he would try
them on Feline A/D (mentioned in Ferrets for dummies) but when we got there he only
had the dog version which I did find a bit unnerving. I was feeding them on TPP, a
good quality dry biscuit ferret food before they had the diarrhoea. Do I need to
gradually introduce this back into the kitten food at 1st? Could you tell me, are their
other illnesses that can cause the exact same green slimy poop? Thanks again for help.

food for helping a ferret get through ECE. In the write up on ECE in
