Pam did the majority of the work for this resource! A number of these compounding pharmacies SHIP! http://www.smartgroups.com/message/readmessage.cfm?gid=1423922&messageid=1530 Hey all, We have a new file available in our "Files" section at our Smartgroups FHL website. It is the beginning of a list of compounding pharmacies recommended by FHL members. A compounding pharmacy is different than a regular pharmacy because they are experts in formulating drugs in various forms, concentrations, and flavors. So, they can be a wonderful help when treating sick ferrets, where you may benefit from a special flavor to help the meds go down better, or you might like to have a smaller volume to administer. They are experts at custom formulations! The nitty-gritty. You can find the file directly at: http://www.smartgroups.com/vault/ferrethealth/ReferenceShelf/comp_pharm.html If that line wraps, or you want to browse to find the list, you can start from our Smartgroups home page at http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth Then, select "Files" from the left-hand side of the window, and then go into the ReferenceShelf. If you have a compounding pharmacy to add, please drop me a line privately at [log in to unmask] . Please keep the recommendations down to pharmacies that you have personally used and that are helpful with your ferrets. The file does also have links to large listings of compounding pharmacies in general, in case there isn't one on our list for a particular area. By the way, I have done some re-arranging of things, and this ReferenceShelf folder is now where the, uh, "reference-y" sorts of files are at; mostly directory-types of files. Smartgroups has a weird way of sorting things, and I had a couple of people say they had a hard time finding our Vet's listing because it was listed on the second page of the Files, and for a time they didn't notice that there WAS a second page in the first place. Thanks to Sukie for going out and hunting down the first of our entries in this file! If you sent an entry to Sukie and/or me, I *think* it is in there now. If not, please send me a message again - there was quite a bit of email there and it is possible that I missed one. Best wishes, -Pam S. [Posted in FML issue 3916]
