I will definitely discuss premedicating with dexamethasone with my
vet. I didn't realize that ferrets could react to Benadryl before
this scary but educational experience.


**While I haven't seen any, like I posted, I have heard of ferrets that did
(from reliable sources). I honestly suspect that a ferret can react to
anything - as can lots of other species. For example, I'm allergic to steroids.
But the odds of reaction are much higher to some things (vaccines, etc) than to
others (steroids).**
