Howdy all!
I read this in Tuesday's FML:
>>>1) Dr. Williams has said to watch for tooth-grinding as a tip off
>to ulcers. I am watching Slinky closely, as I just introduced these

I have a ferret that recently has started to gnash her teeth... I
couldn't figure out why that would be... An ulcer could be a possibility,
since she did stop eating for a couple of days just before I noticed her
new habit...
What I would like to know, if she does have an ulcer, is there anything
I can do about it? My roommate had an ulcer once, and it was so bad that
he had to have surgery. Are there any non- surgical cures?
On a different topic, I also read this:
>>>What is it specifically about clay-based cat litter that is harmful to
ferrets?
I am also interested in this answer, since I have always used
scoopable cat litter. If clay-based cat litter is harmful, what are some
alternatives?
Thanks.
