The Case for Cat Milk

When a ferret requires a bit of fattening up, many people recommend different supplements and foods such as ferretvite (in the tube, not the multivitamin water additives), cream, ensure, baby food and so forth. One thing that I have never heard recommended, and I feel should certainly be used is Whiska's cat milk, rather than cream.

Cream, due to the lactose, can cause an already weakened ferret's condition to worsen as many ferrets cannot digest cream properly. In other words: if a ferret is already weak, does it make sense to be giving them what amounts to a high fat laxative? This is not a problem with Whiska's cat milk.
Cat milk is a high fat, reduced lactose cream supplement designed specifically for cats who, like ferrets, are often unable to digest lactose as adults. In my experience, I have found that most ferrets that will drink cream LOVE cat milk. Cat milk provides the same benefits as cream is supposed to with a reduced risk of causing your ferret to suffer from diarrhea! Cat milk can also be used to hide the taste of small amounts of Pepto-Bismol (which is great for preventing ferret tummy aches), and, as an added bonus, cat milk is fortified with a small amount of taurine!
