Several Hints to the person that has a ferret with Skin allergies 1. Use hypoallergenic washing powder (i use arm & hammer for both fuzzies and family)Also, add 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle (good for human clothes also) 2. Watch the use of any of the "smell goods" for carpets, not all of the powder will vacum up 3. Do not use Fabreeze; Have seen quite a few fuzzies and birds, cats etc that have allergic reaction, it has killed a few birds (I found that the Chlorox brand seems to work OK. 4. Have you changed to a different brand of litter....I am using the yesterday's news litter for my fuzzies, some of the "other" litters non-clumping often have perfumes added Don't know if any of this will help.
