Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could answer a question regarding Chlor Palmitate?
I am wondering if anyone has used Chlor Palmitate, and if so, what the standard dosage would be for a 1.5 lbs. ferret who would take this medication twice/day?
Background - One of my ferrets, fifi, recently came down with something and has ceased to eat or drink. My regular "ferret vet" is on vacation for another week and I finally decided to take fifi to the local vet in town (They said that they treated ferrets). The vet prescribed Chlor Palmitate and said "give one dropper, twice/day". Unfortunately, the dropper is not calibrated, nor does it fill "all the way up", so I am not sure if I give the ferret 1/2 a dropper (the amount that it fills), or should I give her that volume 2x. The vet was a bit uncertain regarding the dosage and the duration for this medication so I am afraid to call back to clarify this issue.
Thanks for your time and advice!
