I have it on good authority that in emergency situations, dog or cat blood
can be used to provide blood for a ferret.  The ferret's body destroys the
foreign cells within about 48 hours, but this could buy the time one needs
to find a ferret donor in a life or death situation.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
