Your vet needs to be monitoring for lack of adrenal products and the
possible Addison crash that can result from that. The ferret may
need replacement meds such as Florinef and Prednisone. Every once in
a while we all hear of a little one not making it because the vets
didn't have meds handy, or hadn't begun them.
