I wanted to comment on the post about Pepto Bismol not containing asprin,
that is true............but Pepto Bismol will thin the blood LIKE asprin.
 
I, myself, had surgery last month to have a cyst removed from my face and
they said Pepto was a NO NO!!!  It's a blood thinner and can cause excess
bleeding.  I would NEVER give Pepto to a ferret. If it's something that I
myself cannot take while pregnant or ill, it's just not safe for my baby.
