To Melissa Litwicki: You are probably thinking of Laxatone - some owners use Petromalt successfully, but I have never used it. Someone else - I think Pat Ball - asked me where to find Laxatone. Well, many animal hospital sell it and you can get it from most of the mail order wholesale animal supply companies, much cheaper than thru the vets (sorry to all the doctors). Omaha is probably one of the biggest. You can call 1-800-367-4444 and ask for a Master Catalog. It has everything! And if you spend at least $50, they will ship for free! They carry Petromalt as well. In a recent post, I commented that I choose brands that vets carry, but I don't necessarily buy from them. This is what I mean! I buy whatever I can from Omaha and save lots of money. Over the past year, the variety of ferret-related items they carry has increased significantly - they have finally realized how popular the ferret is (HAS) becoming. Ferretone, Linatone, Brewer's Yeast tabs and powder.....and for those of you who have dogs on Heart Guard (now the drs are REALLY going to get mad at me!), ask your vet for a written prescription for HG, send it Omaha, and get it MUCH cheaper - almost 50% cheaper depending on what you're paying at your vets. Hmmmm.........this isn't really about Laxatone anymore, is it? Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA [Posted in FML issue 1173]
