Question
what do i do when my ferret is vomiting?

Answer
Amber,

How old is your ferret?  Does he/she have a normal stool or not going at all?  I need a little more information. How much does your ferret vomit.  
One thing you can use is Pepto Bismal.  It coats their stomach like it does for people.  They hate it but it helps.  Does your ferret paw at his/her mouth?

Let me know and then I can help you better.


She is pretty young.  Pawing at the mouth is definitely a sign of an upset stomach.  I hope she is doing better now.
