I went to the website and looked at what information they had. The
only concern I might have off hand is they state it should not be
used on animals with liver damage. And, ADV frequently damages the
livers of the ferrets it infects. However, it is easy enough to test
a ferret and see if the liver function has been compromised.
Unfortunately, the website does not give much information about what
the product actually does. If it is an enzyme type product that aids
in digestion and absorbtion, then there are other products with
similar action like Nupro and Ferretzyme that are made specifically
for ferrets.
