Hi guys *waves* !! Kim here from Stinky Pete's Ferret Retreat in
Florida. About 3 weeks ago I rescued an older adrenal boy who was in
pretty bad shape. Wounds everywhere, fleas in the fur he had left and
a swollen wounded eye. Not to mention a bruised tummy and sores on
the pads of his feet. Some one you might have seen his pictures on my
facebook. His name is Capone because he's a tough guy! He must of been
left outside to fend for himself for a long time. We think he was
living under the lady's house that called me. Thank goodness she did
because here in Florida he wouldn't of lasted much longer. He's looking
a lot better these days. Lately his skin has become real dry. His only
bath was when I got him in to get the caked off dirt and fleas off. He
might be a little dehydrated but not to the point he needs to be sub
q'd. He's active, eats and drinks well and poops are pretty good. What
I would like to know is something I could do for his skin. Something
that would be safe for him and his new sisters that like to clean/flea
him. Yes, he is quite the Romeo. I was hoping that the hair loss was
from malnourishment and I was going to wait a little to see if any hair
growth started which it hasn't yet. In a couple weeks we will get an
appointment at the vets for his lupron/melatonin treatment. Any
suggestions would be helpful for dry skin. Thanks in advance :)

Kim Kelly
