| I know we use Vivfy oil from Totally Ferret it is the emu oil that they make. On our sick and old ones it puts the weight back on the pretty fast, it also helps with their digestion. It is a bit pricey, but I LOVE THE STUFF! I use it along with either duck soup or chicken baby food. Ferret Hugs! Noni, Rigel, Kira and Alphie

If she is okay health wise, then I would recommend feeding her "duck soup" or a mixture of a/d cat food mixed with stage 2 Gerber chicken or turkey baby food, and feed her every 3 - 4 hours. Be prepared to feed for weeks, as it sounds like she will have a long recovery ahead of her. I would monitor her food intact and when she starts feeding herself, then put her on ferret food or high protein diet recommened amount of protein min 36% and avoid foods that contain corn, corn meal, corn flour. Hope this helps
