DO NOT USE STRIDEX>>>>>>>>>POISONOUS!!!!!!!!!! if you have a question please try to ask your vet first!!! most people on the FML have great advice ******BUT********* then there are ones that i would not use... the stridex is deffinately one of those times..... it is poisonous!!!!!! 1 of my 8 ferrets has tail acne the vet recommended a shampoo called "SEBOLUX".....wash only his tail in it once a week....let it sit on the tail for about 5 minutes....now one of my ferrets (i had 2 that had this... they were my rescues) she only need 2 treatments...now the other one is more of a challenge...its been 1 month now...its getting better but slowly.......... really i an not putting anyone down....but the best intentions are not always the correct ones...... I ALWAYS ASK MY VET FIRST....they love me by now....GEEZ!!!! sincerly, Trudi Casler [Posted in FML issue 2463]
