My ferret won t eat A/D. Is that the only way he can take Essiac?
No. We use A/D because it s convenient, and the ferrets seem to like it. The object is to use something the ferret will eat completely, without any difficulty. Other things you can try are chicken baby food, chicken gravy, or even a little Ferrevite and water, mixed into a soup. Whatever you can get your ferret to take completely, and get all the way down into its stomach should work fine. For one of our ferrets who wouldn t eat A/D, we added a capful of Essiac to her water bowl. This seemed to work just as well, and it wasn t long before she wouldn t drink just plain water; it had to have the Essiac mixed in. You can even mix it with an equal amount of water and syringe it into the ferret s mouth; but remember, this can stress the ferret, which can cause more problems than it cures.
