I give my ferrets fish oil (note: NOT cod liver oil) for the Omega-3 oils .=
.. I find that they do not have the dry skin and itchiness that some owners=
complain about. Even my two fuzzies with progressive adrenal disease (not =
all of the tumor could be removed) had skin like kid leather - soft and shi=
ny, almost oiled looking. My vet once kidded me that their skin was "like a=
baby's bottom" .... I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience?
