>Or possibly a cortisone creme would help the inflammation. Does anyone >out there know if these are OK to use with ferrets? Karla I don't know much about Pharmacology of ferrets, but I do know that you shouldn't use cortisone on people if there's a infection. not without a doctors ( or vets) recommendation, at least. Cortisone (and other corticosteroids) actually REDUCE the body's ability to fight infections. I've got references on that at home (not with me) if anyone wants them.
