I haven't. For treating respiratory allergies in
ferrets (uncommon, but it does happen) children's
Benadryl elixir is commonly used. It's safe for
ferrets and works well. Dosage depends on body
weight.
I would not attempt using any antihistamine without
discussing it with an experienced ferret vet. I
certainly wouldn't consider loratadine unless it's
been proven safe for ferrets. If you vet has some
literature to that effect please do share it with us.
All the best,
Caity and the fantastic four
