Hi Carol-
OH BOY- let me first state I am NOT a vet -- but given the propensity for
these early alter ferrets to show early symptoms to hyper adrenal disorder
. AND given the low stress tolerances reported in MANY early alter ferrets
- I sure would not want to be using that on any ferrets in MY care!
I sure would like to hear opinions from our knowledgeable vets on list!
