If you look at past posts of Dr. Williams problems with too much A in ferrets are very rare or maybe non-existant.

Although I can't recall where it was there was a mention somewhere in the past of how much is too much. I remember that it was more than we needed to give the medication, but not how much it was, nor who said it.

We give Fludrocort each night to Hilbert with Ferretone without problem. (He is the only ferret I know whose adrenals came out prophylactically but he had serious urinary tract problems and his kidneys were in great danger so while in those were pulled to be safest. It has taken over a year but he has recovered enough from his kidney damage that he is finally very active and also has just recently regained his scent.) We have had others who have had *small* amounts each day without trouble, too.
