It should be fine. The active ingredient is a form or an
antihistamine and the Vesicles are moisturizes. They also make it in
a leave on rinse. In both cases you need to leave it on them for 5
to 10 minutes to gain the best benefit and this is the hardest thing
to do in ferrets and keep them from licking.
