I have been reading the lists about the colloidal silver and thought I would do some research. I found a web site www.acmeferret.com that has an article by Dr. Jean Wardell DVM written in 1995. I don't know if anything has been updated since then but the information in this article looks like colloidal silver is not good for our little fuzzies. Just thought I would give a heads up and let you read for yourself. If anyone has any other information I would like to read up on it, please forward on to me. My husband was watching a tv show last night "Love and Marriage" and they made a remark about "fileting a ferret". Then when he got home his arms were all bandaged up and says he is covered with ferret scratchs and makes some sorta remark about they aren't easy to filet. Guess that is all the information for now.
