Med doses: your vet should have these figures and also the particulars of
using these drugs in ferrets, and the dosing IS also be dependent on the
type and degree of illness, and adjusted throughout as needed per regular
testing and response.  There is NOT such a thing as a usual dose, but
rather a range within which the vets work.

(Though we've also used it on 8 hour schedules and know other's vets
who have also done that for some hard to control situations.)
