> --------------------------------------- > From: "Peter B. Lee, EMT" <[log in to unmask]> > I am interested in finding out how to get rid of that ferret smell. I do not recommend descenting although my two boys are. Marshall farm ferrets. Descenting will take care of some of the smell but not all of it. I use a pet shampoo called Out. It does seem to keep the smell down, but I can't smell them even if If I don't bath them for two weeks. Unfortunately every one else can. My sister can smell the musk right after a bath. So I can't be much help here. Spaying your ferret will help keep the scent down also. A horny ferret is a smelly ferret. :) Around here there is only one or two vets that will descent ferrets. Most vets won't unless there is a problem with the scent gland. Unfortunately one of these vets also strongly suggest declawing ferrets. What an !@#hole this person is. I wish someone would declaw him/her. Brad, Sebastian,and Mako. [Posted in FML issue 0846]
