There are some.
Fish oil is a good treat for them.
It is possible to give banana when a ferret taking diuretics needs potassium.
When getting ferrets adjusted to Addisons meds a tiny addition of salt can be helpful.
Cold cut turkey, chicken, or beef can be appreciated as a treat.
Pasteurized egg yolks are a treasured treat. When I have eggs I get more of the whites and they get those pasteurized yolks. Pasteurized eggs cost more but can be safely given raw. BTW, when I looked up eggs in the past they are not high in phosphorous and if that reference was right then that explains why they can be a good addition for a ferret with kidney disease. Pivot loves licking the yolk open and have it explode on her tongue. You can find lists of groceries that sell pasteurized eggs. Check me on those phosphorous levels, though. I am working with a bug, so error risk is increased.
There are other possible healthy treats.
