Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] glucosamine

My cats take glucosamine-chondriotin, as Cosequin, for other reasons.
I would also be interested in hearing if it has been used for ferrets,
and if a health store brand would be an acceptable substitute for
Cosequin. None of it is cheap, but Cosequin is outrageous.
