The Orange Box contains 0.4 mL per tube for medium cats and is also approved for ferrets. The Purple Box must never be used in ferrets due to moxidectin overdose risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Why is the Purple Box not approved for ferrets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0.8 mL Purple Box delivers more than double the appropriate moxidectin dose for a ferret, risking serious overdose.
