Hello. I answered about Ruby's tail. My ferret Jillie had blackheads and I used Dial liquid antibacterial soap (my vet's suggestion) and used a soft toothbrush to help scrub a bit. Now another has blackheads and I need to do this treatment again. But I forget how often (once a day?) and for how long (two weeks?) I need to do it. Will fur grow in right away or not til the next shed/grow season? I remember someone mentioning Avon's Skin So Soft and just needed to wash the tail once or twice. Anyone remember this? Thanks Risa [Posted in FML issue 4613]
