Please be csreful in using a pill popper. I had used one for many
years, having been instructed by my vet and had a great technique for
administering pills to both my cats and ferrets for a long time Then
one day a pill got caught in my ferret Merlin's throat and he nearly
choked to death. He couldn't swallow or cough it up. I was able to
reach down his throat and get it, but never used a popper again. Now
I have everything compounded. Yes, it costs more, but that was the
scariest thing ever. I'm not saying that pill poppers are unsafe
across the board; but please, please be aware they are not fool proof
and be prepared in how to assist a choking ferret.
