What we do here is to crush the pill,if we can't get it in a liquid form.I'd never put a pill of any size in a ferrets throat.They have tiny throats & can choke easily.I've seen this happen at my vets offices.Not a pretty sight when someone brings in a ferret from this exact thing happening. I crush in between 2 spoons,then *drop* the crushed pill into the cylinder of a 3 cc syringe,add either Tone or chicken gravy & administer. Those here that need meds,I give it this way & hold them in my arms like an infant,they take it willingly. We are still in need of volunteers.While I know that some of you on this list live within a 50 mile radius,if you don't have anything else to do on a weekend,come on by,I'll let you help us.You don't need to like me to help the ferts. -- Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter a 501-3c no kill shelter http://fuzzyslave.tripod.com [Posted in FML issue 5092]
