Studies have show similar discoveries in many different animals including
cats and dogs, and can even effect pregnant or nursing animals.
People should be discouraged to feed foods which contain these, specially if
you will be feeding that product over prolonged usage (years). It is also
included in human food, but it appears that many food manufactures try to
avoid using it. Hopefully it will be outlawed in ferret/cat/dog and even
human food, much like etheoxyquin was! Even some of the more major bands use
BHA and BHT in their foods, such as Science Diet, Marshall's , Mazuri, etc.
Most animal treats out there also contain them.
