I don't know much about Pharmacology of ferrets, but I do know that you
shouldn't use cortisone on people if there's a infection.  not without a
doctors ( or vets) recommendation, at least.  Cortisone (and other
corticosteroids) actually REDUCE the body's ability to fight infections.
I've got references on that at home (not with me) if anyone wants them.
