To Cindy Sooy concerning the dosage of Benadryl in the ferret -
Bendaryl is a pretty safe drug - you have a wide range of safety - too
much will only make a ferret sleep it off - the dsage is 1-2mg/lb depending
on the circumstances. I would go about 1ml/lb for a vaccine reactor, and
the higher dose to treat an ongoing reaction, bee sting, etc....
