Is there an animal poison control hotline?
The National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) can be reached one of two ways: either call 1-900-680-0000 ($20 for the first 5 minutes, $2.95 for each additional minute) or 1-800-548-2423 ($30 flat fee on your credit card). Give them as much information as you can: what your ferret got into, what the ingredients are, how much he ate or contacted, and how long ago it was. The NAPCC Web site offers advice on preventing animal poisoning, what to do if your pet is poisoned, and so on.
