Was reading in the book An Owners Guide to The Ferret. This book recommends bathing and brushing are recommended during your ferret's coat change. If your ferret is shedding and has a dry, hacking cough, he might have some hair caught in his throat. Now I have heard brushing a ferret during shedding season, but I have not heard about bathing during this time.. Have any of you done the bathing during the shedding season, and if so, does this really help the ferret? Thanks in advance. Debbie [Posted in FML issue 2965]
