I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Newone; that was a touching story! When your vet. reports back to you on the colloidal silver, could you please post the results to the list? I'd love to know what you find, as I give colloidal silver to my Paddington (with my vet's blessing). I, too, have noticed wonderful results. Many thanks, and condolences on your loss .... - Ela P.S. I got a note from one subscriber last week about my posting a couple of week's ago about Brewer's Yeast. She wanted to know why I thought a posting about facial masks was relevant to a ferret list. Well, just in case anyone else drew the wrong conclusion .. I was *trying* to post about the nutritive properties of brewer's yeast when used as a food supplement for ferrets. The sentence about using it as a facial mask was just an interesting footnote in my lecture notes from Nutrition class. (I can't imagine too many ferrets holding still for a facial mask treatment, anyway ... ;->) Sorry if I confused anyone else with this; I was NOT trying to post about beauty treatments!!!!
