Grieving ferret

[Guest silverfox]

Hi everyone ,

 

My ferret isnt eating after the death of his brother , the vet had him eating cat food so we tried a few brands , but he wont eat any , we called the vet today they suggested trying liquid cat food we got some straight away and he is still not interested , before the loss of his brother they were both very happy eating dry complete ferret food , do any of you guys have any idea,s ?

try chocolate i had the same problem it worked for me the try his food again

I take it the Vet would've checked teeth and gums for any signs of abcess, rotten or broken teeth.

 

I'd try a bit of fresh meat.

this is the reason why i have 3, i have read that if you have 2 and one dies the other one can die from grief

 

if you have 3 and one dies they other two have company still and you can introduce another one

Ok guys & girls picked my little mate up from vets to day they had him eating but not much , the problem he has got is an enlarged liver ? they said vitamins will put it right , and we are taking him to a specialist tomorrow which the vet set up for us , so fingers crossed he will come through this , its costing me an arm and a leg
