He is a mammal, so how different can it be? I understand the lack of expertise, but I also believe that the attempt of care by any doctor would have been worth the shot.

The relationship between how much an animal weighs and how much you give them does not always correlate. :( Sorry about your fert.

I used the assistance of an anesthesiologist to just calculate the ratio from a similarly sick human male down to a male ferret and then gave that solution IV. It was crude but last shot to give him a day until the ferret doc would have been back.


I understand the reasons, I guess. It just is sad.

... that is not how medicine should work.

Do you mean subcutaneously ie: under the skin?

Edit: we are not jumping on you to be dicks. It sucks that your ferret died, and PI of all the forums understands how heartbreaking and short lived the little slinkies are. It's just that an human anesthesiologist has absolutely no reason to give advice on ANY part of ferret medication, and you have no idea if the care you gave it did anything beneficial.
