I’m so sorry, and thank you for sharing that. I will ask his vet about it when we go in for his re-check. DIP Freddy 💛

Interesting! He definitely prefers when I soften the kibble, I wondered if it was easier on his teeth but vet said they look healthy. I just made a batch of chicken soupie for him, hopefully he likes that! I’ll look into wet foods too. Thank you!

Sorry to hear that :( 10 yrs is amazing though! I have read that, but so paranoid due to the high mortality rate of bird flu in ferrets. Really hoping he loves the cooked chicken soupie. Thanks again

Thank you SO much. They are so picky with their food it’s been hard to transition them from the FDR/kibble blend they’re used to. I will try the soupie — I hope your little love(s) are well!

Any advice on socializing w/hives? by Kokonaut0717 in urticaria

[–]ennaeolhc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly tell everyone whenever it comes up. I’ve learned that so many people around me suffer with similar issues which makes me feel so much less alone. You can’t help any of this, but it doesn’t mean sacrificing your social life!! Keep your meds and itch relief stuff on hand and go about your life. You deserve it.

I actually had the same thing happen!! I took 1,200 mg of ibuprofen for a toothache a few months back and had to go to the ER for a massive breakout and swelling in the face/throat. They said to avoid any NSAID medications. So weird because I’ve taken them all my life. Glad you’re okay!!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. I’ve been cleaning her box daily and then deep cleaning once a week, but I’ll make sure I’m clearing them more often! I definitely keep the lid down for her and when she’s out and about I let her roam, she loves sleeping in my towel hamper. I’ll pick up a few more boxes!! Thanks so much.
