Roger,
We used the Floressence here - the Reee Caisse recipe with our cancer kids
for a number of years. AS I have stated before it does a good job with
quality AS LONG AS the ferret is not a borderline or insulinoma patient.
It will tend to lower the blood glucose- in humans that is usually not an
issue as we tends to have more high sugar ( diabetes) but it can compromise
ferrets.
