Like Dr. Williams we personally tend to AVOID the OTCs. (DO notice his Afrin tip, though.) We DO swear by using a clothing steamer when there are respiratory problems, and some have gotten antibiotics to try to avoid secondary bacterial infections. Also, take temp regularly. 101 to 103 is normal for ferrets.

These will all be of use to FHL members who want to learn about this topic (NOTE THE CAUTIONS IN SOME.):
