BTW, there is a product called NuSkin that I use for my own nicks and cuts -
it is a liquid bandage product which contains an antibiotic.  I like it for
hangnails, since a Bandaid is no use.  Burns like the dickens though!  Not
sure if it's OK for ferrets but I'd think it was more suitable than
Superglue.  Any thoughts on this, Dr. Williams?
