Hey all,
We have a new file available in our "Files" section at our Smartgroups FHL
website. It is the beginning of a list of compounding pharmacies
recommended by FHL members. A compounding pharmacy is different than a
regular pharmacy because they are experts in formulating drugs in various
forms, concentrations, and flavors. So, they can be a wonderful help when
treating sick ferrets, where you may benefit from a special flavor to help
the meds go down better, or you might like to have a smaller volume to
administer. They are experts at custom formulations!
The nitty-gritty. You can find the file directly at:
http://www.smartgroups.com/vault/ferrethealth/ReferenceShelf/comp_pharm.html
If that line wraps, or you want to browse to find the list, you can start
from our Smartgroups home page at
http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth
Then, select "Files" from the left-hand side of the window, and then go
into the ReferenceShelf.
If you have a compounding pharmacy to add, please drop me a line privately
at pjdutche@email.unc.edu . Please keep the recommendations down to
pharmacies that you have personally used and that are helpful with your
ferrets. The file does also have links to large listings of compounding
pharmacies in general, in case there isn't one on our list for a
particular area.
By the way, I have done some re-arranging of things, and this
ReferenceShelf folder is now where the, uh, "reference-y" sorts of files
are at; mostly directory-types of files. Smartgroups has a weird way of
sorting things, and I had a couple of people say they had a hard time
finding our Vet's listing because it was listed on the second page of the
Files, and for a time they didn't notice that there WAS a second page in
the first place.
Thanks to Sukie for going out and hunting down the first of our entries in
this file! If you sent an entry to Sukie and/or me, I *think* it is in
there now. If not, please send me a message again - there was quite a bit
of email there and it is possible that I missed one.
Best wishes,
-Pam S.
