There will come a time when you are going to have to give your ferret a medication, and your ferret will not want to be medicated. Pills are pretty easy to use. Just scuff the little fellow, wait for the yawn, and pop it in! In some cases, however, you may have to give the fert a medication that is in liquid form. If you enter this war unprepared, you will end up wearing the medication, and the ferret will get none down his throat. I have two ferrets that have to be medicated twice daily, so I have developed a system that seems to work pretty well. I have taken some photographs of the 'system' and have put them on an FTP site with a brief description of what I am trying to accomplish with the ferret. I will leave these pictures on the site for a while, so if you are interested in seeing how I manage to 'medicate' a ferret, please take a look at <http://www.seaside.net/homepage/rbever/medication >. Sorry I didn't dress up for the occasion, I learned a long time ago that clean clothes, an angry ferret, and a syringe full of 'goo' don't mix. regards, Rick [Posted in FML issue 2108]
