Hi Katherine,
No, I have not been removing the implants.
IF you have a problem there (granuloma, painful
scar tissue, etc) then they can be taking out.
The implants are roughly the size of a piece of
rice, and you usually can not find them after
implanting them.
Hope that answered your question,

I am cross posting this to Ferret Health for opinions from vets and
other health providers.
I would like to start using wood pellets for litter pans for my
fuzzies. I have read about _not_ using soft wood pellets. Soft
wood usually means conifer wood. However, I have found one pellet
producer that "claims" theirs are made from only Douglas Fir and Larch.
>From what I can tell neither of these two woods are pine. And
therefore it should be safe to use for litter for fuzzies and other
animals.
I would like to hear (email) from anyone that has used wood pellets
for litter. Please tell me what kind of wood the pellets are made
from, the brand name, and the producer. Also, if you have used
other brands and why you switched.
I will collect all responses I receive, put them in a single posting,
and send it to the FML.
I realize that this may have been done before and the results are
in the archives. Unfortunately, wood pellet producers change their
formulation frequently and it would be hard to know if they are
being made the same as last year. I thought doing this just as
the winter heating season begins, we can gather information that
should be up-to=date.
Thanks!
