Hi there! I must say that I don't like to miss a single issue of the FML and that is why I am a month behind. That is also why I don't take active part in the commenting these days. I always seem to be getting the info. when it is too late to answer or give my opinion. Some day I hope to catch up. I have one question. I have 2 ferrets (we have 10 all together as some of you may remember) on sustical and pedialyte. Each of these say that they have to be used within 48 hrs. once they have been opened. What happens to them after 48 hours? The sustical can be frozen and I do that. Can pedialyte be put in the freezer? Seriously though, I realize that this can be a silly question, (and I don't, and won't put up with any flaming so don't even be bothered to send any), but I do want to know. I don't want to throw these not so cheap items out if they don't happen to get used up in time. Do they break down and lose their effectiveness, or what. Any insite would be appreciated. Thank you.
