I don't know how other folks do it, but we have had great success making Weasel Sludge for our fuzzies. Dissolve 1-2T Brewer's yeast (the stuff we get already has garlic in it; check your favorite vet supply catalog) in 1 cup of chicken/beef/veal broth. Be sure to use *unsalted* broth; we make our own, and it usually has more vegetables than chicken in it (but don't tell the ferrets!). Store covered in refrigerator; heat before serving (microwave works well for this). Serve in a small bowl or from a dropper. We give ours about 1 tsp. daily as a bedtime treat -- slightly more for geriatric or ill animals. They like it better than raisins. And does it help? Ask me about our almost-8-year-old Pet Pals rescue who thinks she's a kit! Hope this helps, ellen & the Gang of Four Banjo (I am not old, I'm *aged*, like fine wine!) Rip Van Weasel (yawn... oh, sludge! I'm awake, I'm awake!) Mike's Fault (gimme that dropper! gimme! gimme! gimme!) Possume (oh boy, sludge! I knew I was going to like it here!)
