Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I would like to thank all the people who gave advice about echinacea. I fed one human sized capsule mixed with ferretvite and a bit of ferrettone and milk to my three daily. I have also moved them over to a raw diet. They are now bouncing all over the place again. I have no idea if they would have got better without the echinacea but I would like to think that it did help. Cheryl [Posted in FML issue 3543]
