If I remember correctly the post about the ferrets that are mysteriously dying also mentioned birds dying. Does this person use ANY non stick cookware. Pans, toaster ovens, waffle irons, even a Teflon coated ironing board cover. The fumes from these over heated items are deadly to birds, I'm assuming the same could be true for ferrets. Also, some scented candles, air freshener sprays, sprinkle on carpet freshener, aerosol cleaning products. Flea treatment was mentioned, hopefully it was one that would be safe to use around/on animals. I know of a person that sprayed her kitten with ant and roach killer. :( We don't even have a flea problem here. In Touch, Ardith mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3790]
