My ferret has diarrhea 2 months after a food change. Is this normal?

Question

Hi!!! My ferret, she is like 1 year old, she is playful as always, she runs around the house and she looks normal. But like 2 months ago, I changed her food from the marshalls brand to the kaytee. All she poops now is diarrhea and I wanted know if that is normal. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | spayed

It could be normal to have diarrhea after a food change but usually the diarrhea happens pretty soon after the new food is started and not 2 months later. I suggest you get Bella a probiotic and feed her that for a few weeks. If no improvement in the stool quality you should then get her to your vet for an exam and fecal test to check for worms. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30E0710C-7B6A-11D5-A192-00B0D0204AE5 Hope this helps. Best wishes.
