Hello again Ferret Lovers:
 
I am wondering if "Brewers Yeast tablets with Garlic" are a safe diet
supplement for ferrets, and if so, recommended dosages, since dosages for
ferrets are not listed on the package.  The dosage is 1 tablet per each 10
pounds of body weight (for dogs and cats).  The ingredients are:  Debittered
Brewers Dried Yeast, Dehydrated Garlic, Zinc Oxide, Biotin;  guaranteed
analysis:  Crude Protein, not less than 41.0%.  I understand that the garlic
is considered to be a flea deterrent.  Further ingredients breakdown follows:
 
Vitamins and Minerals per pound (minimums unless otherwise stated):
 
Zinc                    1.45 mg
Thiamine                  41 mg
Riboflavin                16 mg
Vitamin B6                17 mg
Niacin                   170 mg
d-Pantothenic Acid        35 mg
Biotin                   1.0 mg
Folic Acid               1.5 mg
There is also a breakdown of amino acids, however, I'm not including those.
 
Thank you,
Jean and her sweetheart ferret Katy, and
Sasha the Rogue
