Hello all, I know that the use of deodorizers doesn't seem like a
potential hazard and this is not a bash at those who use them BUT
these products can possibly cause respiratory distress.
What smells nice to us could be toxic, a case in point, FABREEZE , a
known killer of small birds such as finches, doves & button quail. Now
I know that birds and ferrets are in different orders but it's not worth
the gamble.
Many Bird lovers didn't know of this hazzard until after the damage was
done . The person who wrote the original message has it righ on many
points , cleaning our critters, cleaning their bedding and cleaning the
litter, Also there might be a link with clay litters and respiratory
distress but at this point the research is not complete..
Be careful, and give your weasels a big hug , I know I will....
