Hi, all. I've lurked for some time and don't often post. I do have one small problem. Some time ago, my vet, who is not a ferret expert but is intent on learning, told me my little sable sprite had a foot fungus. The pads of the hind feet (not the front feet) exhibited feathery-looking outgrowths. He suggested using betadine solution on them,and for a while the fungus appeared to clear up. It has been quite some time now, though, and the condition has never entirely gone away. Shiva hates having the cold stuff swabbed on her feet each night, but I am trying to hold this thing at bay. Has any more knowledgible person out there got any other suggestions? Thanks in advance, Linda --the maid Shiva--Awe, Ma, knock it off with the foot rubs. It's past my bedtime.. Pixel--Hey, I'll *gladly* come out and play! :O) :O) :-) [Posted in FML issue 1832]
