I'd be inclined to check it in a vet's office due to this situation: http://ferrethealth.org/archive/browse.php?msg=YG7571 http://ferrethealth.org/archive/browse.php?msg=SG10122 http://ferrethealth.org/archive/browse.php?msg=SG5681 Vets should always know all that a ferret is getting, anyway, but since it appears that it seems to have lowered blood sugar in this ferret, and there is no real study on this herbal use that I have heard of in the past (no time to look today) it is important to use caution when first trying it to be safest just in case that response happens in another. -- Sukie (not a vet) Ferret Health List co-moderator http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth FHL Archives fan http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ replacing http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org International Ferret Congress advisor http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 5057]
