>From "Gastrointestinal Diseases of the Ferret' Lennox (2005):
Supportive care includes replacing fluid needs, and ensuring adequate
nutrition to prevent weight loss and loss of muscle mass that often
accompanies chronic diarrhea. A number of hand-feeding products have
been suggested, including high-protein commercial foods such as Oxbow Carnivore Critical Care (Oxbow Pet Products, Murdock, Nebraska,
www.oxbowhay.com), Hill's a/d, strained turkey, or chicken baby food.
Antidiarrheal drugs such as loperamide hydrocloride are sometimes
helpful in slowing diarrhea as an adjunct to treatment of the primary
underlying cause (p. 222-223).
Table 4 (p. 223)
Loperamide hydrochloride
