Subject: cut palate help asked
             Warp has her long-standing small intestinal problem going again; as 
usual it was sudden, but it wasn't very bad and Carafate soon had her 
doing fine which is great because surgery for it again would be 
dangerous.
This time, though, she scratched her upper palate putting her hands 
in there thanks to the nausea.
***  Will be calling our vet in the morning, of course (sooner if she 
has problems again), but wanted to ask if anyone has run into 
anything ferret-safe that is soothing or numbing for a cut palate? 
This little old lady has enough going on without one more thing on 
top of it, so if it still bothers her we want to have an idea of what 
may help. ***

(Warp has had a friable small intestine (of unknown cause though it's 
thought to possibly be an auto-immune problem) for many years and is 
now 7 years old.)
