How many mg are there per ml in your concentration? How
large is the ferret? The fluid measurement doesn't say how
much med is being given, I'm afraid, and dose must be adjusted for size, too.

From Dr. Karen Purcell's vet text (_Essentials of Ferrets_ from AAHA Press 1-800-252-2242):

> Prednisone, prednisolone
> 0.10-2.5 mg/kg q 12-24h PO.
