Mary, while you are at it, please, also don't forget to point out the hazards associated with a number of herbals. Got to balance the uses with what medical problems counter-indicate use, when poisoning may occur, side effects possible, which other medications of any types may be interfered with, etc. Any thing strong enough to help is usually strong enough to harm, so those particulars are essential for preventing accidental losses of life of ferrets, and I've noticed some plant names off-hand which have been recently mentioned that carry documented well-researched hazards. True, most have not been actually checked with careful research following scientific protocol specifically in ferrets, but that is for use as well as the cautions, so for each the info is carried over from work in other mammals.
