Subject: [ferrethealth] Need help with chronic diarrhea/EGE
To: "ferrethealth" <ferrethealth@smartgroups.com>
I know many people here have had to deal with EE/EGE or other types of chronic inflammation, and I am looking for some tips on what has worked best. Currently my ferret, Ben, is only on Pred., which was maintaining him pretty well but after trying to wean him off of it, it came back worse than ever and it has become very difficult to control. My vet has suggested adding Pepto, but I have not found it to be too effective so far. His appetite is good, but all I have been able to get him to eat is Hill's Feline Sensitive Stomach. I am going to try to get him to start eating Hill's z/d but I think it will be challenging as he is very picky (good tips on getting those picky eaters to change foods would be helpful as well).
I have read posts on adding Carafate, Pepcid/Famotidine, etc. Has that been helpful?
Are there any standard veterinary protocols out there now?
Any help would be very much appreciated
Christine & Ben
