I am posting this request for information for another person and hope Dr. Williams can give us his opinion on the situation. They have a 6 year old ferret with ECE that their vet was treating with albon (I know that is not the recommended drug, but her ferret does not tolerate amoxi and there doesn't appear to be any Baytril available in her small town). She was working on getting the medication changed to something more effective, when the ferret was accidentally medicated with 10 times the recommended dose of albon. Now their vet does not want her putting the ferret on any other drug until she is sure there has been no damage from the overdose. The overdose occurred on the morning of the 25th. We are worried about the old girl getting a secondary infection from the ECE while the vet watches her for signs of overdose damage. Dr. Williams, do you think the risk outweighs the benefit of waiting before starting her on Baytril? She first showed signs of ECE around the 23rd of January. She has been eating (baby food) and drinking throughout this entire ordeal, but her activity level is very low. We would really appreciate your opinion on the situation.
