Hi all-- My ferret sheds quite regularly, there is always fur everywhere. I bought some Petromalt. I was planning on using the Petromalt as a preventative for furballs, but what if he already has them? Will the Petromalt help? I have no reason to believe he has a furball, I am just paranoid. On another note, I used to use Mane and Tail shampoo on myself, but my stylist told me that it contains a lot of wax, and the wax coating your hair is what makes it feel thicker. She could see the wax in my hair, before I told her I was using Mane and Tail. If I tried it on my ferret, would the wax cause a problem with him licking his fur? Could it help keep moisture in his fur and skin? Am I grasping at straws? Maria. [Posted in FML issue 1446]
