Hi Peg in BC
The protein content of 25% is way too low for any ferret,
so you definitely do not want to feed it to the 6 healthy
ferrets! Now as for the sick ferret, what signs was he showing
when he was sick? Hyporexia and anorexia can elevate the
liver enzymes even though there is not a liver problem. Did
he have a yellow tint ot his skin or gums? Did he have any
vomiting? Was he showing any nerological signs?
Unless there were signs that would go along with liver failure,
I would not feed such a low protein diet.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
