Subject: easier way to get a pill into a ferret...

twice daily. I pry her mouth open and aim for the back of her
throat. I am successful in getting her to swallow it on the first
try,
about 70% of the time.

This was a dilemma for us too, as 2 of our gang are on enacard for
heart murmurs. We discovered that a pill, as long as it isn't very
big, that is deftly hidden inside a dollop of petromalt will almost
always be swallowed in one gulp without the unsuspecting little
fuzzball ever even knowing it was there. :-) Much easier on
everyone involved.
