How do I get my ferret to throw up?
Give ferret 1/2 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide (2.4mL). The vomiting will occur almost immediately (I couldn’t even get the full dose down on the first run) and it will be full on projectile vomiting so I suggest doing it in the bathtub. The vomiting will last 10-20 min.
