Thank you, Roger. I think you answered my question. The fear of
overdosing on vitamins is similar, to me, to telling me that too much
alcohol is bad for me, too much fat is bad for me, etc. Common sense
is the key. I certainly wouldn't let my ferrets slug down half a
bottle of Ferretone.
I appreciate your response. I think it is perfectly safe to give an
insulinomic ferret Ferretone
