Dook dooks. I just had my 2 ferrets to the vet yesterday because there was
some skin irritation going on causing itching/discomfort especially in my
male who recently had adrenal surgery. I suspected the itchiness in him to
still be from the harmones from the adrenal disease. My vet was concerned
with the irritation found and he asked if we did anything different in
their room lately that could cause this. The only thing we did different
in their room was to use Nature's Miracle on the carpet to clean
up/deodorize some residue from them periodically missing their litter boxes
:-) plus shampooed the carpet about 2-3 months ago with a Rug Doctor
shampooer. Our Vet suggested we stop using both the Nature's Miracle and
the shampooer. YIKES! What can we use? It seems to be a real health issue.
My question is how many of you use Nature's Miracle for cleaning and has
any one else ever had the problem of skin irritation from the use of this
product? Also, what do any of you use to clean up and to shampoo
carpets? Need to find a way to keep these guys from getting irritated. We
always take the ferrets out of the room and always wait until the carpet is
completely dry before they are returned to their room. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated and helpful. My vet said he had no idea what
we could use. Certainly can't just go without cleaning their room at
all. Thanks in advance and hope I explained my dilemma so there is no
misunderstanding.
