Hi! I have a couple of questions that I've been wondering about. First, today I picked up Mrs. Allen's Shed Stop for my fuzzbutts. Even though they all have their summer coats, they've been shedding a bit too much (nothing like when they are getting their summer coats, though) and thought I'd try this, since I've heard nothing but great things about it. My question is....I give them a tiny bit of Ferretone (a squirt on their belly) at night before bedtime. The Shed Stop says you give each ferret one tablespoon daily for, well, it really doesn't say how long. It says you should see results in 4 to 6 weeks. Should I give them the Shed Stop exclusively at night with no Ferretone, give both, or what? The ingredients are as follows: Safflower, Sunflower, Olive and Soya oils (source of Vitamins A, B Complex, E, Linolenic and Linoleic Acids), Lecithin, Natural Flavors and Herbs, and Zinc. No water added. Gauranteed Analysis: Crude Protein not less than 3%, Crude Fat not less than 86% (this seems like a high number!), Crude Fiber not more than 1%, and Moisture not more than 1%. They all eat a mix of Nutro Max Kitten food, 8 in 1 ferret food, Shepard and Greene ferret food, ProPlan kitten, and I think there's one more, but I can't remember....Their ages range from 5 months to almost 4 years old. I just don't want to OD the poor guys on anything! :) Next thing...Calvin is a Panda/Mutt sorta thingy :) He's white, with a grey back. Lately he's been getting orange in spots. One is by his ears (I keep them as clean as I can) which the vet said not to worry about (I didn't know if it meant his ears were dirty). Is this anything I should be worried about? Thanks for any help you can give! Jaymi + Leroy, Petra, Samson, Calvin, Heidegger, Joe, and Phil RIP Bubba, Bear, Kirby, and Oppie [Posted in FML issue 2715]
