Subject: bath time
Message-ID: <25294531.1036543855081.JavaMail.root@scandium>
I just rescued two ferrets. I gave them a bath, clipped their nails, cleaned the ears, they got the works. Unfortunately, I can not get rid of the cow manure/urine/who knows what smell on their heads and faces. Does anyone have any advice on how to wash their entire heads without getting soap stings in their eyes or too much water in their ears? I am unfortunately allergic to animals, but after having so many ferrets I am not allergic to them anymore. But whatever it is in these new boys coats is giving me major hives and major allergy attacks when i pet them. So I need to get rid of it ASAP so I can breathe again!!! If anyone has any advice on how to go about giving thier heads a good scrub, please let me know. Thanks so much. Ann
