The current website of the ASPCA's APCC is not at all very well designed for searching so I figured I'd put a few useful links. Some of these are not ferret specific but are ferret-applicable (for example fexofenadine poisoning). >Veterinary Lifeline Partner Program (VLPP) >The Veterinary Lifeline Partner Program affords veterinarians and >veterinary clinics immediate access to the expert staff of the ASPCA >Animal Poison Control Center (APCC). Enrollment in VLPP is free, and >includes other benefits, such as our quarterly e-newsletter. <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/veterinary-resources/veterinary-lifeline-partner.html> These are just a ***SMALL SAMPLING*** from <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/veterinary-resources/animal-poison-control-center.html> alternative link: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/ and near the bottom of this one see live links in: > More Resources: > What To Do If Your Pet Is Poisoned > Your Free APCC Magnet > Safeguarding Cats from Plants > A Poison Safe Home > People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pets > Top 10 Drugs That Poison Our Pets > Snake Bite Safety and Prevention Tips > Ask the Experts: Okay or No Way? at home: <http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/a-poison-safe-home.html> if poisoning happens: <http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/what-to-do-if-your-pet-is-poisoned.html> management: <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/apcc_ferret.pdf> humans meds and human vitamins that often kill or injure pets: <http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/top-10-human-medications-that-poison-our-pets.html> dangerous foods and some less dangerous but potentially risky: <http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/people-foods.html> rodenticides: <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/anticoagulant.pdf> <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/d-dbriefoct2002.pdf> <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/0903toxbrief.pdf> <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/c-vettech_0102.pdf> antihistamines: <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/f-toxbrief_1001.pdf> chocolate (the darker it is the riskier it is): <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/m-toxbrief_0201.pdf> Ibuprofen (Acetaminophen is also ***highly*** poisonous for ferrets, causing liver failure): <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/documents/t-toxbrief_0704.pdf> <http://www.aspcapro.org/animal-poison-control/vlpp-newsletter-archive/vlpp-newsletter-summer-2007.html> >Ferrets are also sometimes exposed to ibuprofen, and even just one >pill can be lethal.
