Cited dose rules for Chloramphenicol in ferret are available with a free ExoticRx account. Each row carries the route, dose range, frequency, indication, evidence level, and primary-source citation.
Why a species-specific page? Chloramphenicol pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in ferret — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
