Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Herman drank a Coca Cola!
I think Herman eats better than I do. Let's see what is in Cola,
I think water mostly, with some food coloring, lots of sugar,
carbonation, caffeine, and that is about it.
Don't worry, he should be fine.
It would be different if he was on a soda and chips diet like
some of us Americans.
