To Becki Kain and har halitosis ferret:
 
        Becki - I'm not sure I know what "sour stomach" is.  Are your ferret's
teeth clean?  ARe you feeding anything that would make the ferret's stomach
"sour"?  Are there any other health problems - certain kidney diseasess may
cause bad breath...
 
        There are a lot of chlorophyll products on the market for dogs breath,
which you may be able to use in ferrets.  I would stay away from human breath
mints....
