Of course, first have the physician's office check to see if any of
the standard
companies make one now.
Some of these URLs are long so make sure you use the complete URLs.
Here is a person whose allergies to ferrets were reduced by taking
the shots for cat allergies:

I have also heard of people taking both ones for cats and dogs
experiencing reductions. I don't think I have heard of the results
for someone taking just shots for dog allergy and what happened.
Should the URL give you trouble you can go to the Ferret Mailing
List Archives

and search with these to directly get it:

It may pay you to do a second search and see if she says how the product
worked or didn't, or other considerations. The search engine there
is easy to use.
I think that this may be the post you recall:

Note the cautions because there are some very serious ones about
possible
contaminents; ask your allergist if it might be safer to use such an
approach
through the SLIT (sub lingual = under tongue) approach if you and
physician
decide to do it.

Are you sure that it is the ferrets to whom you are allergic rather
than one of the
products, for instance, their litter. We have found that we can not
use the hard
wood litters, nor the corn or wheat litters. The former has too much
of a problem
with molds, and the latter two with pollens. I'm okay with those,
but Steve was in
agony.
Another note: make sure that your allergist or pulmonologist okays
the type of
air cleaner you use. Many of the free-standing electrostatic ones
have serious
problems, from the creation of ozone to sudden releases of large
amounts of the
particles during brownouts and blackouts, so you want to stick w the
hepa filter
ones.
