Ok so to sum up for my own reassurance that I was not wrong in anything I told her, all of the poops look like normal switch poops? She should still avoid chicken for a few more days and then re introduce it to see if she goes back to extremely mucosal poops before eliminating it totally?

None of those stools look like ECE. The only reason why I suggested the pumpkin was that there had been no "normal" stools and the only pic I picked up was the one in the tin litter pan. If she'd been having this for a couple of days, and vetting wasn't possible (ER vet only....they're often useless for this type of thing) then we needed to get her to start absorbing her nutrients. If this darker stool is her most recent then you don't need the pumpkin because even though mucousy, it's a good stool and not one that I would be worried about. It appears that maybe chicken doesn't sit very well or at least at this time ciao Yes the darker stool is her most recent on beef.

Second beef poopy. I was out for about an hour so this might be a little old so to speak.

Not surprising it is dark as beef is blood rich And that one looks MUCH better! And yes Fireangel- you did good

So. I would avoid chicken for at least 2 weeks to give any inflammation triggered by a sensitivity time to calm down. Try her with other red meats like lamb, goat, or pork for those two weeks. Get her stools back to normal, THEN try introducing a meal of chicken. Some can have one or two chicken meals a week, others none at all. It really is going to be trial and error and we will help walk you through it, so take a deep breath and relax You are doing really well (dance)

I bought beef tongue and liver today to complete my soupie. Do I need to do anything with the tongue or just like chicken heart throw it in there and blend it?

They really can be like a two year old on crack. I just wish we all had that kind of energy. :tornado: Poopnado comes to mind :heehee: Give it a few days and see if her poop changes. Those poops look like Nei's first five days, it takes some time for their digestion tract to get accustomed to the dietary change, some longer than others.

That beef poop doesn't look too bad - as others said beef is rich in blood and causes darker poops. The chicken poop looks really mucousy though so I second what the others said about avoiding chicken for a little while and seeing what happens.

The first one a little mucousy. The second one I posted a picture of as well and it looked even better. She had another poop that looked like the second poop so I think it was the chicken. She has great energy. Also a better appetite as well she has already eaten almost 7 ounces today and that doesnt count whats in her cage now. And shes already ate a bit of it.

So I bought quail and I found duck. And I found lamb shoulder. Does quail and duck and turkey still have the same as chicken? Like if shes sensitive to chicken will it be the same for all fowl?

That's great you were able to find those things! Some ferrets do have a sensitivity to all fowl but it is not necessarily that way. You may find with the lamb shoulder she only eats the meat off it and the bone is too thick.

Are all this food human grade so I dont have to freeze for three days? Because the tongue and liver was frozen so I just cut it up and made her a soupie right then and there.
