Dear Sheena ;
Re: Ancient Fang as well, since he seems to be rapidly going downhill these
last few weeks.  (By the way, TAF also has cataracts which he recently
developed in his 6th year of life.  He's pretty much blind by this point.
Poor skinny blind ferret ...
 
    I can't praise enough the liquid food called Deliver 2.0, any pharmacy
can order.  It's the ONLY one for ferrets according to Dr. Susan Brown in
Illinois.  It's high calorie, with lots of vitamins, etc.  Call around
though, it's price varies from $23 to $35/case of 12- 8oz cans.  All mine
love it, alone or with the good old Gerber Turkey Rice food. :) It put
weight on Timmy, & the Whiskas Kit Nips have 5 animal proteins, which
really helped his coat & energy.  It's the only dry food he'll eat, still.
 
    The colloidal silver is a good booster to the whole immune system, so
it probably would help if he's going downhill in a general way.  1st thing
is to get something into them, then boost the nutrition, and bolster the
immune system.
 
        Enjoy, Gary
