Hi everyone, Well, I took Julia the Ferret to the vet today. Half the fun of a visit is to show her to people. Since I live In Calif., I don't ever take her outside :(. Anyway, I got the usual comments, "look it's a weasel", "I heard they are outlawed because they are harmful to cattle" (sigh). Apparently, they hunt in packs here in California, chasing down defenseless Bovine type thousands of times their size (Yea, right). Anyway, she had a clean bill of health. At one point, the doctor said he found an enlarged Lympth node, but later said, "No, it's just fat" (sigh of relief). Ok, here is the question. He said she had some tartar (sp?) (the brown stuff, not the sauce) on her back teeth. Does anyone have advice on how to remove or slow this buildup? I already only give her dry food. Thanks, D.E. Brea CA. PS: It cost me $23 for distemper plus exam. I go to the Eastlake Animal Hospital in Yorba Linda, CA. They are great, if you need a Ferret Vet. [Posted in FML issue 1049]
