Hi all, Further to Melanie's post yesterday, my ferret, Waddy, is also extremely itchy like Melanie's Gizmo. Waddy has been scratching to the extreme for about two months now. The vet prescribed "cefta-drops" about a month ago. I can't remember what type of antibiotic this is, but it's not prednizone. Waddy took the Cefta-drops for 2 weeks, and we also bathed him in a medicated shampoo that the vet prescribed. There is still no improvement and I'm feeling really sorry for the little guy. Waddy's skin does not appear dry, however he does have little scabs all over from scratching. I hope responses to this post and Melanie's post can shed some light on this problem. Thank you so much.
