I'm not sure how much this will help, but as fa as i can tell, ferrets are fairly prone to diarhhea. just bought a three month old female. She's had loose,...
Thank you. It sounds very similar to what my ferret has as well. He has had it for 3 weeks. The vet did put him on antibiotics. I will see how it works....
