Answer
I don't treat ferrets either but your boss should be able to tell you what to use. We used Ovitrol for fleas on the ferrets we used to see. They can get anemic pretty fast if you don't kill them off quickly.

As far as her sneezing it sounds as if she has an upper respiratory infection and you treat a ferret like a cat when it comes to things such as that.

Ask you boss- you have a resource at your finger tips!
