To Ian Lynn on the subject of raisins:
Ian - we too have a ferret that will gorge on raisins. But six
is a bit much for any ferret. Raisins are not easy for a ferret to digest 0
they are all fiber. Everything in moderation - one a day is plenty. If your
ferret has a habit of swallowing them without chewing - do what we do for
Yogi- cut them into small pieces. Then one raisin can last a whole lot
longer.
Concerning the proper dose of Laxa-Stat: Your instincts were right
here. I always start with some of these preparations when I'm thinking
impaction. One inch twice daily is a good dose. These products, being
flavored petrolatum, are non-toxic, but too much will cause diarrhea.
