I've started Nibs on some of the stuff from Gary's Timmy site but have some question that hopefully either he or some of the others using these products can answer. Nibby has adenocarsinoma and it is very aggressive but for right now he eats well. If I start mixing Timmy's recipe and giving it to him that way, how many meals is it for a single ferret? Does it serve one ferret for one day? One ferret for a day and a half? Two ferrets for one day? I have several others I am going to put on all these supplements. I don't want to take them off solid food when they don't have an eating problem, plus they house with their well buddies so feeding them seperate meals just don't work. I'm also afraid that if I feed it just as a supplement to his regular food, he won't be taking in enough of the herbals. I've been trying to figure out dosages per day for him based on the recipe. The recipe says: >4 tsp. Timmy's Original Tonic; (see source below) [3 tsp. /ferret/day is >what Timmy had when very sick, 1.5 tsp. in food, 1.5 tsp. in water] This indicates to me that the recipe must feed one ferret for a little over 2 days based on 1.5tsp in food per day. However, it gives the following dosage of Pet Tinic: >1 tsp. Pet Tinic liquid vitamins; (see notes below for sources and >ingredients). [1cc/ferret/day = 1/5th of a tsp.] This would indicate stretching it out over 5 days which doesn't mesh with other things. Right now I'm trying to just give Nibs the supplements but haven't figured out how much. He is getting the following items (some still to arrive). Collodial Silver - straight from a syrenge for most, tonight I mixed it in a flax oil cocktail for Nibs. How much for sick ferret per day, how much just to maintain health Flax Seed Oil - how much per ferret? tonight I crushed up the Pycnogenol tablet Pycnogenol - (20mg pycnogenol and 100 mg vitamin C). Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and got tablets. After crushing it up, I mixed it in one tsp flax and and 2cc collidial silver and syrenged it to him Greens+ - I haven't figured out how to give these to him unless I do a duck soup with them On order: Tommy's Tonic Pet Tinic Red Clover When these come in, how much should I be poking down him of each? And should some of it be poked twice a day in order for him to absorb it better and maintain a constant level. If I add the follwing items, how much per day per ferret? - Natural Sources" brand Black Cherry concentrate (unsweetened powdered garlic - Willard water XXX (supplies minerals & makes water wetter, improving digestion & lessening urinary tract blockages - brewers yeast, I use Lewis Labs brand for best taste myself. I'm thinking I'm going to have to make a soup. I was hoping one I figured out how much of each ingredient, I could mix several days worth in the flax oil or something similiar (maybe linatone and olive oil), making it convienent and quick to dose out. For the adrenal babies, are all of these recommended or just certain ones. Once again, would twice daily doses assure better absorption before it passes through. And for the healthy ones, what would some of you suggest go into a cocktail for them? I know this is long and brain wracking but I really appreciate any help and suggestions in getting him going. I don't want beon overdosing him with one thing while not giving him enough of the really potent stuff. *************************** You shouldn't scold the little baby who played in the ashes. Penny says it is a wonderful beauty treatment. Tries to indulge in it every chance she gets. Not only will she scoot circles around my husband's ashtray if she finds it, she pokes her head through the firescreen screen and stares at the fire. She tried once to climb under the log rack while the fire was going. After much negotiating and scolding she now settles for sticking her head inside the screen. I can't understand how she can stand the heat and the ashes flying around although she is cute as hell with her little butt sticking out of the fire. (Her brother Nibs climbing into the flue, rolling in the soot and than wardancing his little black body across the carpet was not cute.)
