Thanks to all the people who emailed me privately about our Amadeo. He's doing very well now, comparatively speaking, and we think he has a chance to live. Two days ago we thought we were saying goodbye forever. Even if he doesn't make it, these few days mean so much to me. We'll keep up the regimen and I'll keep you posted... on a good note, despite 48 hours of force-feeding, Deo hasn't lost any weight at all. Makes me proud. As for ferret sprays, we've used them in the past. There was one put out by PPP and another by, er, some other company (all herbal, all natural sort of thing) that we really liked. We've run out but we do plan to re-order. We don't spray our ferrets every day; we usually use the spray after bathtime, while they're still damp, and it makes them smell yummy for a while. We also think it does condition their coats, and we're very vain about their coats. :-) The other way we use these sprays is on their bed-linens after washing them. There are lots of sprays I haven't liked, but the ones I do like are nice. The ferret still smells like a ferret--just a very yummy ferret. :-) Jen and the Crazy Business [Posted in FML issue 2985]
