FHL'ers -

I think at this point, I'm going to close this thread on Totally
Ferret - it is rapidly coming to the point of "piling on". Several
claims are being made here strongly implying that Totally Ferret is
the cause of illness, failure to thrive, even steatitis, but
unfortunately, there is no evidence that TF is truly involved, except
temporal and circumstantial. If you look closely at these
situations, it is difficult to implicate TF or any food in situations
where one animal, or a small number were affected, when everyone was
eating the product.

I have spoken with Dr. Willard about joining the FHL to assist us
with the numerous nutritional questions, and I am sure that wen he
does, he will be happy to address these concerns as well.

Thank you for your understanding, and above all, for keeping the
discourse civil and on-point.



With kindest regards,

Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP
