Gordon, as you know, you and Peekaboo got very lucky. She must have had almost no exposure. Have to be careful that others don't think that gasoline could be safe enough to ignore. You did exactly the right thing. If there is loss of consciousness, seizure, difficulty breathing, or other serious symptom then emergency vet care is needed. BTW, folks, if the ferret gets into something less generally familiar bring the container (or in the case of a plant bring a specimen) to the vets if the symptoms are bad enough for immediate care. If the symptoms are less severe have it handy when you call the Poison Control numbers.
