Greetings fellow Fuzzy owners! Just wanted to add a couple of thoughts in here! Trying to fit replies to several people into one as that is the way my Off Line Reader allows it! This comes to you via National Video Text Network! OBTW, if I address a reply to a fuzzy it means your sign off confused me and I thought it was your name.... <G> ... ok? CINDY , Dr. Williams in his address at the EXPO said vaccination will not hurt and he recommended something on the order of every six months for show ferrets! (distemper) AMY & ANGI, As far as shampoo, we use baby shampoo and then follow it up with a dousing of Skin So Soft from Avon. Have had no problems in that regard (long as you like the smell of SSS). Obviously you don't want to get it in the fuzzies eyes. We spray heavily on our hands and then rub it into the fuzzy! Don't have dry skin problems, but since we have been doing this since almost day one (Thanks to Dick Brossart who runs a great shelter up in New Hampshire) don't know if we would have any problems if we didn't use the SSS. Warmest Regards, SOUP & Donna in North Carolina [Posted in FML issue 0736]
