This is an immunosuppressive and can lower white cell and red cell counts.
Also the drug isn't really stable and it is instructed that those handling
it wear gloves. It is also not designed to be crused or even split which
means what ever is done to break it into small enough doses this should be
done by an experienced person like a pharmacist that compounds if it is even
able to be done correctly in smaller doses. It is believed that the drug is
not dispersed equally in the tablet so you don't get accurate doses when it
is split or crushed. Thus you never really know if you might be giving a
toxic dose. BE CAREFUL and see if there is another way. Any of this could
cause more severe weakness in the ferret.

Best of Luck, hope this helps.

Dr. Sue
