Ferrets DO also get shiga toxin poisoning and they DO get the same kidney syndrome that humans get with it. You can find article on that in PubMed if desired, or just by searching the separate FHL Archives.
<http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentid=2011/09/0400.xml&contentidonly=true>
is a press release about the USDA now also not allowing other shiga toxin producing strains to be sold:
> As a result of today's action, if the E. coli serogroups O26, O103, O45, O111, O121 and O145 are found in raw ground beef or its precursors, those products will be prohibited from entering commerce. Like E.coli O157:H7, these serogroups can cause severe illness and even death
