Subject: [ferrethealth] Distemper
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

I just had a wild thought.  So wild can be good or just plain wild.

One of the treatments for Distemper is Vitamin A.  Doesn't ferretone have a lot of Vitamin A in it.  I wonder if give your ferret Ferretone every day would help ward off distemper or reduce its severity?   I know the amount give in distemper treatment is very high I just wondered if daily doses of ferretone would help or not. 

In humans they say take a lot of Vitamin C to ward off disease I wonder if daily Ferretone would help ward off distemper.  Ward off not prevent infection.

Like I said it was a wild thought.
