I don't know how other folks do it, but we have had great success making
Weasel Sludge for our fuzzies. Dissolve 1-2T Brewer's yeast (the stuff we
get already has garlic in it; check your favorite vet supply catalog) in 1
cup of chicken/beef/veal broth. Be sure to use *unsalted* broth; we make
our own, and it usually has more vegetables than chicken in it (but don't
tell the ferrets!). Store covered in refrigerator; heat before serving
(microwave works well for this). Serve in a small bowl or from a dropper.
We give ours about 1 tsp. daily as a bedtime treat -- slightly more for
geriatric or ill animals. They like it better than raisins. And does it
help? Ask me about our almost-8-year-old Pet Pals rescue who thinks she's
a kit!
Hope this helps,
