I still believe that Bob Church's Chicken Gravy is better than baby
food. We have used it with all out ferrets that have had medical
problems with outstanding results and you should have no problem finding
the necessary ingredients. Our vet does recommend it as well.
I use Pam Sessoms' pressure cooker method to prepare it. I don't think
the original method (grinding up whole, uncooked chicken) is something I
would have dared try.
