just a note, since many people have mailed me, Dr. Brown had suggested a while ago to give whipping cream (no sugar added, just the cream), max of one table spoon, a day, for ill ferrets, since it is pure fat. We use 1 teaspoon for Tieke to give him his prednisonne and Winstrol and it works great. also, Dr. Schiff has extended it's use as a first test in a blockage. He says it has cut his blockage surgery over 50% this year (and he wants to raise my rates :-) ) hope this helps beckers -- becki kain "words are just dust in deserts of sound." eldritch [Posted in FML issue 2017]
