Hello all,
Well, yesterday was fuzzie grooming day. I cleaned all 7 pairs of ears
and clipped all the toenails. I thought all was great until I started
bathing everyone.
I usually use baby shampoo but got Mashell's ferret shampoo, cream rinse
and Spritz as a gift and thought I would try it out.
I washedFuji, my big silver mitt male in the marshells and all went well
until I started to dry him. His skin turn blood red and looked like he
was bleeding!!! I ran him back into the bathroom and washed him again
in baby shampoo and rinsed him throughly. The redness went away! So I
would not recommend this product for ferrets.
They should at least put a warning on the package to do a test stop
before washing the animal. Poor little guy is exhausted after his bath.
So I finished the other 6 in my usual baby shampoo. Everyone is clean,
sweet smelling and sleeping now.
Just thought I would pass this on. I plan to e-mail Marshells and let
them know what happened.
Dooks,
Toni and the six pack fuzzie pack
PS I checked up on Fuji's skin and its a bit moist and does look like he
had a pretty good skin reaction. If he doesn't improve by tomorrow we'll
be off to see the vet. He doesn't seem to be in pain or uncomfortable.
Poor guy.
