Hi Melanie
Yes, ferret just like dogs and cats can have adverse
reactions to ivermectin like you are describing with Koda.
Fortunately this a rare problem. Treatment is basically
supportive care: fluids (IV or SQ), nutritional support (baby
food, Hill's a/d, Oxbow's carnivore care, kibble mixed with water,
etc.) and steroids (Pediapred). Most cases in cats take weeks
to recover, and I would suspect the same for ferrets.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
