Sorry I should have supported the above with a source....
Biology and Diseases of the Ferret 2nd. edition (James G Fox) p.335

...amoxillin will not be effective as quickly as ....
I apologise for this but also note that the clarithromycin is a two
part as apposed to a three part therapy. It was 100% successfull
when used on my Suki but it did take the whole two weeks before
any change was seen, the clarithromycin was used on its own as
there was no sign of ulcers so no antacid needed.
