I'm a firm believer that your emotions have a big impact on your
ferret (or any animal for that matter) when you're attempting to help
them in some way...giving meds, food, etc.
Sometimes it is hard not to get panicky when your ferret is really
ill and you're trying to get them to eat when they don't want to.
They really seem to pick up on that and it makes the task even more
difficult.
