Just got the last ferret-list and wanted to respond to a few. To Amy, RE: pills. I agree, medicine time can be a major hastle. Almost as bad as nail clipping! Tyler just finished a weeks supply of Amoxil, and I have a suggestion that might help the medicine go down. Try PediaLite (fruit flavor). You can find it at any grocery or drug store in the baby aisle. Get a little baby syringe as well (without the needle!). Pour some PediaLite into a glass, put the pill in the syringe, and suck the PediaLite into the syringe. You now have a full syringe of PediaLite and the pill, which with a little shaking, should dissolve nicely. Tyler happily lapped up the mixture! I kept having to add PediaLite to the syringe so he wouldn't taste the medicine, though! Simon, on the other hand, doesn't care of the fruit flavor. Go figure! I hope it works. I, too, have a little guy with singed whiskers. They're just fascinated by those fires! Simon got tired of hearing me say "No, no, no!" when he poked his little nose into the fireplace, and he literally jumped in when I wasn't looking! Scared both of us nearly to death! Before I was able to grab him, he attempted to "sniff" the flames, but they sniffed him first! I've felt guilty for days now. Fortunately, he's not burned or blistered anywhere. Just a few singed whiskers. It seems we all have to learn the hard way. I feel so bad... Lastly, Simon and Tyler both love to lick the lotion off my skin. I like to think they're giving me kisses, but I know they're attracted to that stupid lotion. Does anyone else have this experience? Why do they do that, and is it harmful to them? Strange as it may sound, could the lotion contain vitamins that they like, but could ultimately hurt them? Just wondering. I'm looking forward to the next issue...until then. Denise, Simon & Tyler..... [Posted in FML issue 0628]
