Hi Wim

Unfortunately, prior to me giving the ferret a home, she had been fed on cat food. I am a big advocate of feeding a natural raw food diet and I moved her onto a species apropriate diet or as near as I could get (rabbits, voles, mice, pigeons, chicken, varing depending on what I could get hold of and what my cats caught). She is also at a disadvantage because they had vaccinated with distemper/parvo mix. I dislike the use of vaccination anyway but to vaccinate with parvo, I consider to be especially detrimental to her health.
I do have a homoeopath looking at her case but he, like you, knows of no research. Unfortunately ferrets seem to get short shrift when it comes to medical treatment of any kind. I was hoping that perhaps somewhere, someone had treated this problem.

Thanks for your input.

All the best
Kerry.
