Somehow my computer crashed and I lost the digest for today, I read half of it and have some questions and comments. Sorry I can't remember the names of people who I will be refering to!! A veterinarian had written in, in response to a flea problem. He said that he gave Program to ferrets. I had not heard of this. As a vet student, I can get Program free for my ferret. What dosage should I get for my 2lb female? Do you normally suggest Program for ferrets? I also wanted to comment about recent discussion on bathing ferrets. I have a 4 year old albino. I have bathed her once every 2 weeks since I have had her. Lately it has been once every 3 weeks due to my hectic schedule. This was because I have almost always lived with people who dislike that musky smell that even descented ferrets have. (Can you believe that?). Anyway, I have found that the frequent baths do keep her smell down and her coat has always stayed soft and shiny. The vet I used to work for told me that the reason she stayed so white was because I bathed her so often. She has never gotten used to baths and despises them. I have also never noticed her nails easier to cut after a bath compared to before a bath. So, my experience with frequent bathes has been quite good. **************** Shelley Straight VMRCVM [log in to unmask] **************** [Posted in FML issue 1878]
