The vet who did the autopsy on our ferret was not 100% sure that her
neurological damage was caused by hexane; this was just his best guess.
 
It has also been suggested to us that if the pathologist who did the
autopsy was not familar with ferrets, he may not have recognized some of
the more commom pathologies seen in ferrets??

Hexane is apparently known to cause cancer in humans as well as in pets!
