Hi, I haven't posted in a very long time. The last time I wrote about my ferret Taz-arina, who was partially paralyzed from getting a needle in the wrong area. Taz-arina, has mostly recovered from that incident. Once in a while that leg gets tired, but she runs, jumps, and backs up just like before. Taz had been having some problems shedding. (She hadn't shed in almost a year) I thought it might be bec. of artificial lights in the apt, so I have been trying to keep it darker at night, so they can see the change in lighting outside. After a couple of months of almost natural light she started to shed, and shed she did. It seemed like it would never stop, and then I got worried about insulimia. Then the shedding stopped (thank goodness). The only thing I notice now is dandruff? Do ferrets get drandruff? I thought it might be the shampoo (four paws ferret glow), so I switched to Johnson's Baby Shampoo, that seemed like it was worse. I am now trying a different Johnson's baby shampoo it is their moisturizing formula w/ honey & vit E. Is there anything else I could use? Also, what can I do for dry paws? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I could think of is maybe it is the frequency of the washing that is drying her skin. I don't wash my girls often. It just seems to make them smell worse after, and they HATE baths. They will snorkle in a cup, but God forbid I put them in water :) I wash them every 3-4 months. Jezzy doesn't seem to be having a dry skin problem. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated. I hope everyone and their little ones are doing well. Kalaine [Posted in FML issue 3653]
