Theophylline is a prolonged release bronchodilator, which is occasionally
used in ferrets with cardiomyopathy resulting in left heart failure and
chronic lung disease.  I have not used it much in CMP, but have had some
success with it in ferrets with bronchitis.
 
With kindest regards,
Bruce H. Williams, DVM
