Excerpts from mail: 5-May-93 Ferret List Issue 470 by Ferret Mailing List@ferr > Cleo has been a very good girl lately. She got her flea powdering > yesterday which she really hates so she has been sulking. Recently I Maybe she's not sulking -- maybe the flea powder is making her sick? I know when I flea-powdered my cats, they acted sulky ... until they threw up all over my house! I'm not sure what net-wisdom has to say about flea powder and ferrets. I've put it in the bottom of the cage (turns out a flea collar cut into pieces on the bottom works pretty well, too) but never directly on the ferret. It's supposed to be safe, but I suspect there's a difference between not killing them and making them feel ill. Of course, she may really be sulking. She may be irritated that she has to lick off all that horrible-tasting stuff. :) --Barb-- [Posted in FML issue 0471]
