Here is part of an answer in relation to a dog (Ferrets are descended
from the "dog branch" of Carnivora.):

>Many topical vapor products contain essential oils such as camphor
>and eucalyptus, which have the potential to produce gastrointestinal
>upset and central nervous system depression. And if this product
>were aspirated or inhaled in large enough quantities, respiratory
>irritation and pneumonia could result.
