Does anybody know how Paracetamol/ Acetaminophen poisoning would progress in
a ferret and how quickly it would/ could kill the ferret? Could it cause a
drop in body temperature to the point where the temperature is below normal
values? Fast heart rate, difficulty breathing, very depressed and lethargic
ferret. Very smelly diarrhoea. No vomiting though. The owner tried to
give the ferret paracetamol, I don't know if she succeeded so I asked her
again but the ferret was very sick and died at the vets.
