Dear Chris:
>My ferret Buddy, has a diaper rash (urine scalding) below her rectum and
>on both her legs. We have tried/are trying Desitin, petroleum jelly, Bag
>Balm, and Panalog. Is there anything else I can try, since none of these
>is having very rapid results? (One problem with the Desitin is that she

>a collar.)
Actually, you'd never keep her in a collar, anyway. More improtant than
what to treat with, is why does she have the rash - soemtimes it is more
important to treat the cause, and the symptoms will disappear.
No product will have rapid results in this situation without addressing
the primary problem. I can list a number of other ointments to try, but
without knowing more about the problem (and a picture is always helpful
in these cases), I'm afraid none will give you the relief you want.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM
