I guess this is a vet question, but after reading the ferret with IBD post, I was curious about something. I have IBD myself (It _IS_ Inflammatory Bowel Disorder, right? it would be funny if I said I had it and it was something else that only ferrets get). I take a mild sort of muscle relaxer called "Lomotil". If I have really bad problems sometimes I take Phenergan (sp?) sometimes in Codeine syrup which I dunno if ferrets can have but soemtimes in suppositories (*blush*). Would any of those work on ferrets in smaller doses than for a people? Just out of scientific curiosity. -christine ---- Christine Belsom [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] ICQ# 3937465 Homer: Awww... 20 dollars!? I wanted a peanut.
