Hi, Wendy, and everyone else,
Our previous vet typically started with .25ml (1mg/ml
concentration) twice a day for lymphoma. He would go
up or down depending on how the ferret reacted to the
medication. Our Lady Ayeka is currently on .2ml while
Nyssa is on .27ml. Our current vet continued these
dosages.
Prednisolone (pediapred) is best given with food as it
can cause stomach upset and even ulcers. Our
preferred method is to give it and also some chicken
gravy.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Caity and the super six
