Indeed.  In fact, pregnant jills were given 4200 units of vitamin A/kg/day
day with no obvious effects.  The recommended dose for pregnant HUMANS is
about 5000 units PER PERSON (not per kg!).  I concur with Dr. Williams that
I was unable to find any mention of hypervitaminosis in ferrets in a literature
search.
