Well, today I went to go volunteer for the Washington Humane Society by help training the shelter dogs and I came home with more than I came with. They had a little girl ferret that had been turned into the shelter a few days ago by a gentleman that said he found her in his garage. They asked me if I would take her and of course how could I say no. She is young and a VERy bad biter, but that is fixable. She also is not a Marshall Farmms fuzzie. The problem I need to address ASAP though is she is COVERED with SO many baby ticks. It is the most disturbing things I have ever seen. I took her home immedaitly tonight and gave her a bath with ferret flea and tick shampoo, then I put some mineral oil on a few spots where a mass of them were at around her neck and chin. I heard mineral oil will suffocate them, is that true? I need to know what is the safest and most effective way to get these off of her. They are too little and too many to pick off indivually. So I need a product and a good regement to get rid of these nasty things. I need your advice ASAP!! You can email me at [log in to unmask] She is in a seperate room from my other crew because she needs to be ADV tested and get vaccinations of course, but in the time being I just want to get her comfortable. I could not imagine what that would feel like...YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!!
