Hi Trish and all :)
I use natural things when possible. as for the itching, be it could be a
food allergy.
you might change the food to Nature's Recipe Feline Maintance. it has no corn
in it and has done wonders for Bianca.
I have also added Colodial Silver to her diet. this is a natural antibiotic.
it was used heavilly until about the 1920's and clear up to the 50's, but new
antibiotics took over.
Ferrets will self medicate on this. Initially Bianca slugged down about 4-5
droppers full and slowly is down to only a few licks a week or so. the
origional Colodial Silver was 5 ppm and i moved up the scale with 25 ppm. you
might want to try this with both your ferrets.
i understand about the prednizone.... i take it regularily, it can make the
bones britle with long term usage, among other things.
as for growing fur back, i use Timmy's Tonic for this. it is great i am
starting to use this for the dog, and his fur is doing much better since the
surgery.
