Here are a few things I’ve learned in the last few days…
Slipping a travel-sized bottle of Ferretone in your jacket pocket prior to a vet visit is a good idea–you can use it to distract a ferret while it is being weighed, having blood taken, etc.
When you get home, you should take the Ferretone bottle back out of your jacket pocket.
Travel bottles of Ferretone and the bottle of artificial tears I keep in my jacket pocket are remarkably similar in shape.
No matter how itchy your eye is, even if it is the middle of the night, you should check the bottle before opening and using it.
When you unscrew the cap of an eyedrops bottle, there is an itty-bitty hole that only lets out a drop or two at a time. When you unscrew a travel bottle (of Ferretone, for instance), there is a hole almost as big as the neck of the bottle that lets out quite a bit at a time. Especially if you squeeze it to get an extra few eye drops out.
Ferretone is not at all irritating to the eyes.
Ferretone would make an excellent night cream–it leaves the skin silky-soft.
Rubbing your hair with a washcloth will not get out all the Ferretone.
Ferrets are very sympathetic when their humans have had a Ferretone mishap, and will give lots of kisses.
A sleeping ferret can realize that another ferret is dining on a Ferretone-coated human and wake up to get in on the action.
If ferrets free-roam in your bedroom, you will have to get up and take a shower after a Ferretone mishap to get any sleep.
