So , it's hairball season again, and once again as I'm looking at the ingredients in FerretLax, I am wondering if this is the best preventative for my kids. Dobbie and Zoe have come down with the wild and crazy itchies. So have the other kids. Itchies of this magnitude, this time of year can mean one thing. Hairball time. They've all been laxed once already, but like I said, I wonder if anyone has a better solution that doesn't have a petroleum base. Is this really good for them? Esp. when I give it to them a couple times a week during shedding times in addition to brushing them. I love the synchronized bounce, bounce, chew, chew chew. Bounce, bounce, chew, chew, chew. Which of course, I have to encourage them in the antics by saying..."get that itchie...come on, don't let it win, get, it!!!!!" To which the bounce and chew is intensified. Crazy ferts!!!!! Anyway, if someone has any ideas, let me know. Cindy & the gang of Slightly Used Ferrets (9) Dobbin, Zoe, Oliver, Lollie, Dora, Ham, Cheese, Chepe, and Martin [Posted in FML 6847]
