You might try cutting all EVO foods out. I had terrible problems with
mine when feeding EVO (cat/kitten version). What started out as loose
stools soon turned to full out diarrhea, coupled with vomiting in
several, lethargy and weight loss. Over a six month period we went
through vet visit after vet visit, tests, meds, etc. Nothing was ever
found. At my vets suggestion I stopped feeding the EVO and within 1
weeks time stools were normal, vomiting stopped, energy levels began
picking up and they started putting the weight back on. I don't know
what about the EVO caused the problem but the food obviously was the
cause. I've heard from others that have seen similar issues with EVO
also, so the problem was not limited to just my ferrets. I now feed a
mix of Totally Ferret Active and Zupreem without any problems.
Try cutting out the EVO for a while, see if that clears the problem.
