To Brian Walker: I use Pediapred now, but that has somewhat of a cherry flavor (I have to taste everything). When I used tablets, I would crush up 1/8 tab or 1/4 tab depending on what your vet prescribes and mix it up with a small amt of warmed up baby food. I used about 1/2 tsp of baby food and nuked it for 7 sec - depends on your microwave. You need to use a small amt of baby food to insure that your ferret eats the whole thing and gets the entire pred dose - then you can go ahead and give additional baby food - it's not good to give pred on an empty stomach so using the baby food serves 2 purposes. I never had any trouble administering daily pred using this method. One more thing - be careful about using Ferretone/Linatone when giving meds - the oil inhibits absorption of some meds - Dr. Williams responded to an inquiry of mine a couple of months ago regarding that. Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Moderator's note: Dr. Williams did indeed respond to your query in issue 1475, but he said that the oil might increase absorption, not inhibit it. Of course, that could cause problems too... BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1530]
