In humans a cough that occurs in the morning often makes people wonder about asthma or a respiratory infection (since coughing doesn't occur when asleep and usually coughing is our friend: something we recently had to remind an elderly relative who landed himself in the hospital -- almost dying -- due to cough suppressants worsening his condition).
I don't know: do ferrets ever get short term heart infections, nad could one do what they saw with this kit?
