hey...:) i need some help please... i have several ferrets with "cold" symptoms...sneezing, runny/stuffed up noses... i have called the vet...but a couple seem to have gotten a bit worse since then... a couple seem to be having a real hard time breathing... so i had tommy take me to the store and we got a "Vicks Vaporizer"...i am reasonably sure this part is ok...the part i have the question on is we got the "Steam Medication" to go in it...(menthol vapors)...to help make it easier for them to breathe... it has... "A special blend of aromatics: Eucalyptus Oil, Menthol, Camphor, Methyl Salicylate (Salicytate?), and either Lavender Oil and Peppermint Oil or Mint Essential Oil, in a Mineral Oil Base." the room they are in is not a closed room...there is no door, only a 30" high barrier between it and the living room...so the vapors/steam will not be "concentrated" in there... what i would like to know is...are there any ingredients in this "medication" that will/could hurt them? Thank you for any help you can give me... kat...and her sick krew...:( ===== kat and the krew...
