I have no knowledge of Lysol and ferrets. I used to keep snakes and you
can't use Lysol around them. It will peel the skin right off of them.
The key ingredient in lysol is phenol which is carbolic acid. I have a
throat spray that contains carbolic acid. Seems like it just depends on
which animal you are thinking of using it on. I am not a vet.
