In a quick search engine look I found this,
http://www.vetsoftware.com/acvc2002-hess2.htm
I can't vouch for the info, but the sources quoted are good ones.
If you look at the quoted references, the second one, a book
by Queensberry has the newest edition out ( known as the 'pink book')
I got that as a gift for my vet. Fox's has a book on ferret medicine
Ferret central recommends these books:
Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents - Clinical Medicine and Surgery, by Elizabeth Hillyer and Katherine Quesenberry (1997)
Another good reference work, a bit outdated but still worthwhile for both vets and others, is
Biology and Diseases of the Ferret, by James G. Fox. Lea and Febiger, Philadelphia (1988). ISBN 0-8121-1139-7.
There is also a series out by the
American Animal Hospital Association
12575 West Bayaud Ave.
Lakewood, CO 80228
tel. 800-252-2242
for practitioners on exotic pets. There are five books in the series. Dr. Jeff Jenkins and Dr. Susan Brown produced the one on Rabbits and Ferrets (he did the rabbit part). Many people feel that it is practical and useful; it has drug dosages, treatments, husbandry, normal clinical pathology values, and diagnostic techniques that might be useful for your vet.

I have a vet that needs help. She does my ferret vaccinations, but I was made aware that she does not know what to do for my ferret if it has a reaction.
