FAQs

What is in Marshall Ferret Lax Hairball Remedy Paste?

Ferret Lax is a petrolatum-based lubricant paste: each 3 grams contains 1.8 grams of petrolatum. The other ingredients are cod liver oil, malt extract, methylparaben, molasses, natural and artificial flavours, polysorbate 20, potassium sorbate, soybean oil, tocopheryl acetate and water, with ash at 0.5% maximum. Marshall describes it as a great-tasting internal lubricant for ferrets.

Can I give Marshall Ferret Lax to a young ferret?

No. Marshall's directions say not to give Ferret Lax to ferrets less than 6 months of age, and both sets of directions on the tube are written for adult ferrets. The label also says it is for use in ferrets only, not other pets. If you are worried about hairballs in a younger ferret, ask your veterinarian what to do instead.

How often should I give Marshall Ferret Lax to prevent hairballs?

For prevention in adult ferrets, Marshall's label says to give 1/2 teaspoon 2 to 3 times per week, more often during the spring shedding season. To help eliminate hairballs, it lists 1/2 teaspoon (3 to 6 grams) 2 to 3 times a day for 3 to 4 days until signs disappear, but for no longer than 7 days. Marshall also recommends frequent brushing to remove loose hair.

What signs does Marshall list for hairballs, and when should I call a vet about Ferret Lax?

Marshall lists ribbon-like stools, loss of appetite, dry coughing and gagging as common symptoms of hairballs or obstructions in a ferret's stomach or intestine. Its label says to use Ferret Lax as directed and to consult a veterinarian if conditions persist. Check with your veterinarian promptly if you think your ferret has swallowed an object or may have a blockage.

Where is Marshall Ferret Lax made, what size is it, and how do I store it?

Ferret Lax is made in the USA by Marshall Pet Products of Wolcott, New York. Marshall lists it in a 3 oz (85 g) tube, the size PetMax carries. The label says to store it in a cool, dry area and keep it out of reach of children and pets, and Marshall prints an expiration date and lot number on the tube.
