Curious to know if anyone has ever heard of or used a product called
"FerretZyme Plus" by Pet's Friend.  I've seen it as part of several
different recipies designed for ferrets with adrenal problems but
haven't found anything referencing the products' effectiveness.
 
(Also, I've ordered a product called "Dyne" that will hopefully provide
my Phoebe with the extra "boost" she needs while I'm gone for long
stretches during the day).  She's eating up to 5 TBSP of her high
protein/high fat gravy between 2-3 times in a 24 hr. period but I can't
get her to eat gravy or kibble during the day, while I'm gone).
 
Anyone with recommendations on this product?
