Subject: Re: Re Children's Tylenol

I have to agree with Pam, but I won't be so kind. NO TYLENOL! What
is your vet thinking?

I think it's a common misconception that ferrets can catch our
colds. Flu yes, colds... I don't think so.

When my ferrets have been congested, my vet recommended a vaporizer
and perhaps a little benedryl. Other than that, just like us, they
just have to ride it out.
