Hi Y'all!
Just got the last ferret-list and wanted to respond to a few.
To Amy, RE: pills. I agree, medicine time can be a major hastle.
Almost as bad as nail clipping! Tyler just finished a weeks supply
of Amoxil, and I have a suggestion that might help the medicine go
down. Try PediaLite (fruit flavor). You can find it at any
grocery or drug store in the baby aisle. Get a little baby syringe
as well (without the needle!). Pour some PediaLite into a glass,
put the pill in the syringe, and suck the PediaLite into the
syringe. You now have a full syringe of PediaLite and the pill,
which with a little shaking, should dissolve nicely. Tyler happily
lapped up the mixture! I kept having to add PediaLite to the
syringe so he wouldn't taste the medicine, though! Simon, on the
other hand, doesn't care of the fruit flavor. Go figure! I hope
it works.
I, too, have a little guy with singed whiskers. They're just
fascinated by those fires! Simon got tired of hearing me say "No,
no, no!" when he poked his little nose into the fireplace, and he
literally jumped in when I wasn't looking! Scared both of us
nearly to death! Before I was able to grab him, he attempted to
"sniff" the flames, but they sniffed him first! I've felt guilty
for days now. Fortunately, he's not burned or blistered anywhere.
Just a few singed whiskers. It seems we all have to learn the hard
way. I feel so bad...
Lastly, Simon and Tyler both love to lick the lotion off my skin.
I like to think they're giving me kisses, but I know they're
attracted to that stupid lotion. Does anyone else have this
experience? Why do they do that, and is it harmful to them?
Strange as it may sound, could the lotion contain vitamins that
they like, but could ultimately hurt them? Just wondering. I'm
looking forward to the next issue...until then.
Denise, Simon & Tyler.....
