I have always filled my pred at a human pharmacy, with a prescription from my vet. For many years, I used PediaPred and the ferrets did just fine with it. My pharmacy has changed brands a time or two but I've never had a problem administering it. The last few bottles have been from Hi-Tech Pharmacal. It is Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate Oral Solution 5mg/5mL (nonalcoholic, dye free, sugar free). I have never had a ferret refuse any of the human pharmacy prednisolone solutions. I feed a little soup and then give the pred directly from a syringe and then feed more soup. I just refilled a week or two ago and paid $36.74 for 120mL. Instead of compounding, ask your vet for a prescription and buy from a pharmacy. Katharine Florida [Posted in FML 7462]
