(Check the archives of each at http://listserv.cuny.edu/archives/ferret-search.html and http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org ) Someone wrote (about a client?) who tried that (for heartworm preventatives if memory serves) and the batch was either expired and ineffective, or incorrectly stored and ineffective, or in some way defective so the animal came in very ill. As you can see, I don't remember details, and I can't think of a short cut for that search topic. I guess it's a buyer beware type of thing in that if you aren't sure the place is reputable your animal could suffer from it, so check the specific place before trying. I am not sure exactly where you would check about whether a place sold bad meds. Anyone know where to check for such things for her and for us all? Sorry that is so convoluted; I didn't get much sleep last night, up much later than I wanted to be working on assorted family stuff and then phone calls to us began this a.m. at about 8. I wasn't clear: the houses that were most severely damaged (some very) were in the run the NJ tornado had after it set down again 1/2 a mile away. Except for some with missing roof sections, trees in them, or such there wasn't major home damage in it's spin through our complex, but there was major tree damage here (and certainly elsewhere).
