To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Remember that WHAT an individual reacts to is very individual.
There are certainly things which have a higher rate of causing allergic reactions, but just as certainly there are those of various species who react to things that very few individuals react to.
Either keep the ferret far away from those things, or entirely change your set up.
Given the extreme nature of the reaction, ask your vet if you can just come into the waiting room once or maybe twice a week if vet says that is okay with one (only one) item which was there bring ferret. Then expose the ferret for a while, take away the item, and wait as long as the vet advises in case of a delayed reaction. Doing it this way is time consuming but it ensures rapid veterinary care when something sets off the reaction again. (There could be more than one thing setting off the reaction though that would be rare.)
It is also possible the the ferret may be allergic to the chinchilla, BTW. There are people who react this extremely when exposed to certain animals. I guess that bringing along some chinchilla waste and fur might give an idea if that might be the origin. Not sure, so ask vet.
