I am no vet, but I've read that there is a childrens pepto which does
not have the salicilate (asprin like product) in it and that it is what
should be used for ferrets.

What would make more sense would be a product like Pepcid, or prilosec which reduce /block stomach acid production-which you may or may not want to do depending on what you are treating. OR if grinding teeth, pain, then carafate before feedings. You should discuss it with your vet.
