We use a sterile version in the ER, and my vet does too.  We need one of
the Vets to tell us whether it's safe to substitute super glue at home.
I would use it on myself for a superficial wound, but would hesitate to
use it on a ferret without veterinary OK.  My guess is that any wound
superficial enough to treat at home would probably heal OK by itself
without the glue.  As for a surgical wound with premature suture removal
by the patient, I would like to see what the Vets say.
