Shron, >Is it ok to give a ferret a homepathic supplement with grain alcohol >in it?" NO - it is not okay! A homeopathic veterinarian would make up the remedy for you. However, if you are going to do it yourself - you will need to get the pellet form and make up your own solution. If using more than one remedy you have to make a separate dropper bottle for each. Here's what you do: Get a 1 oz. brown glass dropper bottle. Rinse well with hot water. Fill 2/3 full with distilled/spring water. Drop in 5 homeopathic pellets. Important not to touch them or you'll neutralize them. Drop them into the lid and from the lid directly into the bottle. Let them sit until they dissolve - this may take a couple of hours. Once they are dissolved 'succuss' the bottle, that is, pound it onto the flat of your palm to shake it up. About 10 pounds should do it. Remember to succuss it each time before using it. Give your pet/fuzzy about a third-half a dropper full. If they won't take it directly - mix it into a bit of their favourite treat. I put a couple drops of Ferretone on a plate and squirt the remedy into the Ferretone - no problem giving it! Try and give it 1/2 hour before meal - IF POSSIBLE. Homeopaths suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less), or only one dose can be sufficient. If no response is seen within 3 days - select a different remedy. Super important to STOP giving it if you see any improvement. Remedies are long-acting working over several weeks to promote healing, although if you have the right remedy there should be immediate relief. Very important not to store remedies within a yard of ANY electronic equipment (e.g., clock radios, tv, cell phones, etc.) or they'll be neutralized and will be useless. I store mine in my bedroom wardrobe. Best to consult with a homeopathic veterinarian to get the right remedy for your fuzzy at the right dose. A couple of brief, easy to understand articles written by homeopathic veterinarians that give a succinct overview of veterinary homeopathy can be found at: http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-homeo.html http://www.pets.ca/articles/article-homeo2.htm "Has anyone ever heard of or used an Azmira product called "Panc'rse andGlucobalance"? ... so now I'm afraid to give it to him. ..." Never heard of it! If your intuitive red flags are up - I would pay attention and not give it. Here is a link to the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy that lists homeopathic veterinarians throughout North America - enter your information i.e., state/province, type of pet etc. into the fields - and it will give you a list of vets in your area: http://www.theavh.org/referral/index.php Tressie A.
