Hi All FML'er;
Wanted to let everyone know, that after 4 months of "rat tail', it is
history. I washed Velvets tail(every night for two months) with clean &
clear. Out of nine ferrets and various rescues, she is the only one
that has kept rat tail this long. And then upon someone's suggestion, I
treated her for body mites. Neither thing worked by itself, so I tried
them together and that worked.
I washed her tail(every night with clean & clear and used a soft, child's
tooth brush), then I put a drop of ivermectin(sp?)at the base of her tail.
I followed that regimen every day for about two and one half weeks.
Hallelujah, I noticed tonight that her fur is coming in. Lots of
beautiful black fur. She is a black sable.
She has her winter coat every where but on her tail, I sincerely hope that
the tail fur comes in just as thick and soft as the rest of the fur.
I was so excited that I had to share it with everyone else!
Donna(and her nine furry owners)
