After coming home from the weekend away, I put my travel bag down on the
floor.  The ferrets all came running to see me - so I thought.  I took my
bag upstairs and put everything away.  My allergy medication was not there.
My husband and I checked out the condo we were staying at before leaving.
We were both sure nothing had been left behind.  I then thought that since
my medicine was in the side pocket, it must have fallen out on the way to
the car or in the car.  I checked the car.  No medicine.
 
Two days ago I read a post from someone on this list about her ferret
taking her medicine and getting sick.  After reading that post, I ran
downstairs and checked several of hiding places.  One place is particularly
difficult to reach.  it is an empty space between the bottom drawer and the
floor of a wardrobe.  The ferrets run behind there all the time and I hear
balls rolling around but cannot see or reach them.  I took out the drawer
and used a malleable wand to bend under that area and move things around.
You would not believe the stuff I retrieved!  The last thing I finagled out
was my Claritin-D.  Fortunately the cover was still on and the bottle
undamaged.
 
Thank you to the person who posted about her medication being taken.  I
hope your ferret is doing well and no liver damage occurs.
