I’ve been gone for two days, and my ferret is eating what she normally gets, redford naturals dry kibble. I came home to her stool being very yellow diarrhea.

Thanks for reaching out about Dixie. Yellow stool is a concern and could be an indication of an infection, whether bacterial or viral, to be determined. If persists, a veterinary visit is indicated. Monitor appetite and water intake, as you have been. Good luck.
