Subject: [ferrethealth] non-chicken dry kibble?
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Are there any kibbles on the US market that do not contain chicken, now that the ProPlan turkey kibble is no longer being manufactured? I am suspicious that my IBD ferret Ronan might be sensitive to chicken and would like to try him on something else, but I'm not finding anything online for ferrets or even cats that does not contain chicken (except for one herring based kibble, but I'd really rather avoid that if at all possible).

One of the reasons I think chicken is upsetting him is that even on a daily dose of pepcid a/c and multiple treatments for ulcers, he still grinds his teeth on occasion. More recently, he has begun grinding slightly while getting his teeth brushed, with a chicken-flavored toothpaste. So I'm wondering if getting him off chicken might help. Follow up question in my next email...
