Another ferret owner asked me that question and rather than just reply to her, I thought I'd put the answer up as a post.

To be honest it's difficult for me to say categorically that yes, it does work.  I got it when Muis was diagnosed with insulinoma and I gave it to her every day.  One thing I can say with certainty is that it seemed to help her because she used to wander around the house quite happily, she'd come and see me in the study when I was working and always wanted to be lifted up onto my lap, and if we went out, she'd be at the front door to welcome us home when we came back.  Read more...

Has anyone tried this supplement on their ferret?

Why I ask is because I ordered another bottle of Transfer Factor Plus from my supplier and I mentioned Kahlua's strange symptoms.

When I got the TFPlus, I found a sheet of  Legalon milk thistle capsules which they'd very kindly put in for Kahlua to try, to see if that would help her condition.

They even googled if ferrets could have it and told me they'd seen several websites which talked about ferrets having this supplement.  What wonderful people!  Read more...

Kahlua's initial dose of Pred was for 0.5ml once a day but after she continued to get her low blood sugar drop (LBSD) sessions while on it, I decided I should increase it to 0.5ml twice a day, like Muis had.

I took her to see my vet just to make sure she agreed with my decision and, would you believe, Kahlua had another LBSD episode while we were there.  My vet gave her a couple of smears of Nutrigel and within minutes Kahlua came good.  Read more...

I got an email from someone asking if I could promote this and there is nothing that would give me bigger pleasure than legalising ferret ownership in California.

There are a number of ways you can help, and you can find out everything by going to their site, legalizeferrets.org to see what's required.

Imagine how great you'd feel if you knew that by helping, the Californian ferret owners manage to convince their government the errors of their ways and ferrets finally can finally come out from the shadows and happily be included in their families' lives without fear of reprisals.

A bit of frivolity ... !

Since coming out of hospital, I've developed a constant thirst - I guess from the medication - so I've had cans of Coke chilling in the fridge so that I can gulp them down whenever I feel the need.

Seamus has decided that he, too, likes the cans of Coke so here he is, taking my empty can and stashing it behind the sofa.

Excuse the mess in the sitting room! I've been a lady of leisure for the past 6 weeks so need to get off my tush and start cleaning the house  Read more...
