Yes, acute kidney failure has been documented in ferrets by two vets (See about getting a copy of the back issue of Ferrets Magazine with their article for ferret people.) and has been documented in cats and dogs as well. Most of the work is in dogs. A wide range of possible causes has been studied so far trying to find the reason behind this. In the FML Header people will find the archives address and using those will provide more data. There may also be some in the separate FHL Archives address in my signature lines.
