I'm going to start posting from a series of posts I have done on my skunkie group.  During my 17 days without electric for hurricane Wilma, I got caught up on a lot of reading.  These exerpts will be from "The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care".  There is a lot of information in that book to help keep our babies healthier.  Most mention of pets are that of cats and dogs, but the general information pertains to any animal, except the parts about specific diets.  Dogs and cats can eat things that ferrets can't and vice versa, but all you cat, dog, pig, rabbit, etc. owners can get valuable information from this too.

Please note that you may or may not agree with this information.  Discussion is highly recommended, but please keep it civil and do not criticize anyone for their beliefs.  I hope you enjoy the series.
