Pet Forum / Mammals / Ferrets / April 2004

Having read lots of this type of post recently I am somewhat concerned.
It seems that ferret owners seem to thinnk it funny or amusing when the
ferrets bite and drag cats and puppies about.
I don't find it funny at all and am sickened that a group of animal

I know there was a recent discussion about kittens and ferrets; I found
it usefull. I've been thinking about getting a cat for my ferrets and
me, and I was curious if anyone had any comments on any specific breeds
of cat. I'm leaning toward a tonkinese

Background:  
    Ok, I have 2 fuzzies.  One is quite calm, the other is exactly
opposite and is quite physical when he plays.
Problem:

Is 8in1 the only company to produce Ferretone, and FerretVite?  I bought
both yesterday, and noticed they are in different looking packages now.
 Anyway, I don't know if they changed something in the ingredients or
what, but Zane is the only one who likes Ferretone now, and ...

Well, I guess the furballs won't be going out in the yard any time
soon--the lawn chemical people sprayed today!! :-(  Anyone have an idea
how long I should wait to go back out there?

Went out the other night and got the kids some major tubage.  A bunch of 4"
PVC drain pipe (the kind with holes) and elbows, tees & couplings.  Cut the
pipe into 2' sections and just slip-fit things together so it's easily
rearranged & stored.

Well, I had to make the call. On Saturday morning my baby girl, Snoopy, is
going to be put to sleep. It's killing me to have to make this decision, and
I been second guessing myself since making the appointment on Tuesday. I
keep telling myself she looks so much better now then 30 ...

I just wanted to let the group know that today is Gwen's final day of her
struggle with cancer.  We had planned to say goodbye to her last Saturday, but
she took an upturn so we decided to give her a few more days. I'm glad we did,
as she did have some quality time since then.

I know they had a love affair over their ferrets. Did they ever figure out
if the ferrets were more important than their love for each other?
I think the ferrets win. Ferrets are the best, and all the rest should be
married.

No flames please
I have beagle/terrier mix puppy.  He's about 5 mos old.  He absolutely
adores the ferrets.  He sits in front of the cages and yips and
entices them to play.  I've seen him play one sided chase games trying

My little boy Loki likes to run inside a plastic walmart bag (makes
noise).  That seems rather standard as I understand ferrets.  But a
game I've learned to play with him, is once he's in the bag, I get it
by the handles, carefully and smoothly sling it ino the air about 7ft

I don't like the idea of burying--people or animals--so I had Grey
cremated.  Wendy went and got his ashes today, and the vet also gave her
a nice little present bag.  Inside the bag was a Rainbow Bridge card
that everyone signed, and something in nice wrapping paper.  Well I

I'm going to switch to Revolution instead of Advantage, and was
wondering a few things.  How much do you use?  After stopping Advantage,
how long do I need to wait until I start using the Revolution instead?
I think Revolution will be better, because of all the additional pests

Haven't posted in awhile but have continued to read about all of your
ferrets.  Condolences to all who have lost fuzzies.
My little girl Xena underwent emergency surgery today for stump pyometra and
left adrenal removal ( not the emergency but took it out while she was

Took Harry to the vet.  She has put him on prednisone.  I am to continue
with the antibiotics.  She is going to xray him tomorrow morning.  Whatever
she finds, it will still mean surgery because of the adrenal.  She doesn't
know whether he is strong enough for surgery.  Why she ...
