Dear Ferret Folk,

My 6 1/2 year old ferret hasnt been eating her crunchies, but she goes at the chicken gravy as if she's starving, so I asked the vet to look at her teeth. He did find at least one infected tooth and some others that weren't great.

He thinks we should put her on antibiotics for a couple of days and then he'll clean her teeth and maybe pull some. He asks if clindamycin is ok for ferrets.

I'd appreciate any responses.

Thanks.
