For everyone who miss their fuzzies that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge, rest assured that they are in God's Loving Hands, and they will never again be subjected to illnesses, accidents, abuse or death. We will be reunited again with our beloved 4-legged and 2-legged family. God is the Great Conservationist, and what He has made comes back to Him for all eternity. I pray for peace in your hearts and minds and the comfort in the knowledge that God loves you and all creatures. Regarding Flea Prevention, on advice of my Veterinarian, Dr. Tom Dombrowski, we used advantage on our ferrets, cats & dogs. He recommended that we use 1/2 dose of kitten dose (under 10 lbs, I think) for the males and 1/3 dose of kitten dose for the females. Since we have 6 dogs, 2 cats & 14 ferrets, it is necessary to prevent fleas in the house and on the pets. We also took all of the pets out of the house and set off bug-bombs. Following instructions, the pets did not return into the house for 2 hours after completely airing out the house. We eliminated all fleas & their eggs (and all other bugs too.). Since we live surrounded by the Huron National Forest, we have big concern about fleas & ticks too. Regarding squeeky toy, we had one ferret, Scruffy, who would attack when squeeky toy sounded. We found out too late that he had had severe scar tissue in his ears from ear-mites (he was one of 17 that we rescued), and the sound of the squeeky toy hurt his ears. We had to put Scruffy to sleep because he bit our daughter's ex-dipstick, oops, boyfriend after he squeeked the toy at Scruffy. The Neo-Nazi at the State of Michigan Health Department (How did she get a DVM?) insisted that Scruffy be tested for Rabies (cut off his head). It would have been better if the boyfriend had had his head cut off (oh-oh, judge not least ye be judged). ok enough of my biases. Have Vet check ears for scarring Sincerely, Rev.Ron Sims,D.D.& Family: 8 hoomans owned by 14 ferts, 6 canines & 2 crazy puddy-tats. [Posted in FML issue 3049]
