I bought a container of dog formula Nupro. Is this OK to use for ferrets or do I have to get that specially for them. From what I have read of ingredients the only difference is the ferret formula does not have ground borage seed in it. Although I feed only high quality foods one white male has had twice what looks like a "hot spot" on his side but scraping and cytolgy found nothing. It does not weep, just hair loss in an oval. He is young, had hairball surgery a year ago. He was turned in the humane society almost dead from not being able to eat. I saved him with sub-q fluids and Bob C's chicken gravy. So I thought I would try some Nupro and see if it helps. Carol [Posted in FML issue 5194]
