    Ferret with Diarrhea.
    This morning I realized my ferret had diarrhea, I've been researching all day but I can't find very much and I'm hoping someone on here can give me advise.

    -He is eating normally
    -I haven't changed his food
    -He hasn't been introduced to anything new
    -His ferret room mate is doing just fine
    -He still has energy
    -He doesn't strain to go to the bathroom (A website said this may happen with certain diseases)
    -He drinks normal
    -He isn't going to the bathroom anymore than usual
    -Its not to hot or cold for him (I've been keeping an eye on the temperature in the house since it is warming up outside)

    I think that's about it, so as you can see nothing really changed, except the diarrhea, should he go to a vet now? He has an appointment on July 5 Th..

    Also when should I take him to the vet (When he stops eating? When he looses energy?)

    Thanks in advance
    -Emily
    (I added a photo since I know everyone loves to see pictures :) He is about 3 times the size now and its only been a few weeks! )
