Hello to all...Thanks for all the advice!! Trish (director, ferrets 1st rescue & shelter) gave the opinion of Benadryl Allergy Elixir at 1cc given an hour before the shots. I did this and they seemed calmer than normal. The vet visit was a success and I really wanted to thank all of you that gave me really useful information!!!! Also, when I had no idea what vet to go to, reading this has helped me to find the closest to me. I really think it was a pleasant experience!! I was rather nervous because of the warnings I've heard but I'm glad I educated myself!! The vet said they were healthy with an ear-mite problem and received drops; 10 days on 'stop' 10 more to kill the eggs. (This really grossed me out!!! I felt like the ferrets and myself were dirty!! Made me itchy!!) Will this stop them completely, I hope??? This must be 'small potatoes' for all you breeders out there but she showed me under a microscope, it was disgusting!! (Is this what you are talking about with pet stores? Dirty??) I don't want to go on and on, just a special-THANKS- to whoever gave me some pretty good advice!!! (You know who you are...I hope!!) Been feeling alot more comfortable about owning these cuties!! THANKS AGAIN!!! Carrie [Posted in FML issue 3008]
