Ok, so we just had a horrid run with what we can only suspect has been ECE. Mostly everyone worked through it with supportive care. But one of my older girls Raisin has struggled the worst. She Hates the Flagyl so so tries to puke it. Don't even know if she actually got ALL her meds through out. She did improve with extra pumpkin. But 2 days after meds were 'complete' , and I backed off extra soup: I guess she ate some kibble ( I have seen her) and REALLY upset her tummy. Doesn't take rocket science to see put her back on 'Extra soup with Pumpkin" But she will certainly need Taurine.
Does this have ANY flavor they react to? Right now she acts like anything new is Flagyl she is so mad at me for forcing it on her 10 days! Any Tips on giving it?
Also I have Reishi. Should I try it? Any tips on this?

Reishi can certainly help to boost the immune system. 1/4 capsule per day mixed into the food. Taurine, you can't overdo. I'd give 1/2 capsule per day for now. However, a ferret can go for quite a while before developing any deficiencies from the lack of it. To give you an idea, a sick fuzz can do quite well on just meat baby food for up to 6 months before deficiencies start.

OOOO, Ok! Good to know about the Taurine! When you read the old school articles about how ferrets were put on cat food back in the day, they make it sound like it happens a LOT quicker. I feel a little better. I think I'll try the mushroom and see. Thank you!
