Hi all, Two of my three ferrets have come down with a nasty cold. I am hoping its not pneumonia! I talked to the a lady I know in Milwaukee who runs the ferret shelter there and she recommended that I do the following: 1. substitute pedialyte (sp?) for their water 2. of course, watch all food and water intake, etc. 3. rub Vix vapor rub on their necks and blankets 4. give them a very small dose of the most infantile cough syrup available 5. of course, keep the warm, etc. Any other suggestions? I wanted to make up some "Duck Soup" as well, but I have lost the recipe. Could someone please send it to me? ([log in to unmask]) Nina, who I am the most concerned about because she is 5.5 years old, sounds really bad. I am wondering if I should take her to the vet to get her some Amoxycillin to fight off any possible secondary infections. Opinions? Thanks much. Chris. [Posted in FML issue 0702]
