Febreeze may cause seizures in dogs, so it may not be the best thing to
use with ferrets either.  My former vet recommended not using it around
pets at all.  He said that although the evidence is only anecdotal, there
have been numerous reports of seizures after Febreeze had been applied to
a dog's bed or directly to its coat, so he said he wouldn't risk it.

Good advice Sukie.  Knowing the cause can also help ease one's mind.
