Are Ferrovite, Ferrotone, or emu oil safe to give my ferret?

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Because of the risk of getting the mineral oil in Ebony's lungs ( this is called aspiration pneumonia ), we generally do not recommend mineral oil be given by mouth. What I recommend is to slather some white bread with the petroleum jelly ( you can add a little peanut butter to make it a little tastier ) & feed this to Ebony a small piece at a time. This should do a good job stimulating her bowels. If she continues to have problems, please see your veterinarian. Take care.

This product is safe, but contains a great deal of other vitamins and minerals that can be excessive. Iron can also be toxic if too much is given, so it's best to ask your vet what the specific dose should be and ask for them to recommend a product. I hope that helps and all is well with Lisa.

Depending upon the underlying cause of the anemia, supplements may be used. Hormone therapy is also an option in an intact female. Ideally, Sassy should be physically examined by your veterinarian before any treatment is administered. If she isn't to be used for breeding, she should be spayed once she is stable.

Ferrets have very exact nutritional requirements and a complete ferret food based on animal proteins is preferred (they do not digest dairy or plant based proteins well). There are many brands available, I have always found the james wellbeloved to be palatable for them. Occasional treats of fresh (boiled) meat or eggs are ok also

Hello. Please only use something labeled for ferrets. The Bravecto for cats may get a ferret label down the road, but don't let your ferret be a guinea pig. Stick with the Advantage Multi medium cat as this already has a label for ferrets. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm glad you have been reunited with Tweet! It is likely that she has not eaten in several days - I recommend giving her high protein food (you can try small amounts of canned cat food or moistened ferret kibble) in multiple small meals throughout the day. I commonly recommend a product called Ferretone, which has high vitamins and calories, which may help Tweet regain nutrients quicker. You should keep a close eye on her over the next several days, especially because she may have eaten something she should not have while she was missing. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

It is best that you don't feed any human food to your ferret. Their bodies are not made to process all the preservatives and other things that are in our foods. They make special treats for them so I suggest you use something like these: http://www.ferretdepot.com/toys-!%60-treats/ferret-treats/ Hope this helps!
