Need to know if there is any documentation or thoughts on
once 2 week medication is started if the ferrets can infect
other ferrets.
Do they need to be kept seperate until all medication is gone,
and then more time ????

only ferrets with symptoms need treatment.
I had one ferret with symptoms that was treated successfully
but her companion never had symptoms.
