Thanks Sukie!
I will chat to my vet about it...I'm ducking in there tomorrow. I really appreciate the advice. That was what we were thinking of trying next...it's hard, as I said ferrets are not so popular here and the vet I go to is considered one of the leading ferret vets in my state. Thanks for the input and I'll keep you posted. What would be your idea for a starting dose? He's lost about half his body weight and is currently weighing in at only about 600 gm .
