My ferret ate Epsom salt and his mouth bled. What should I do?

Question

My ferret got into Epsom salt and it made his mouth foam up and bleed (gums I think). We rinsed out his mouth with water and he seems ok now but I want to make sure. Is there any recommendation on anything else I should do. He is playing fine. It just really scared me. Pet's info: Small Animal | Ferret | Male | neutered | 5 months and 12 days old | 1lb

Thanks for reaching out about Draco. Keep a watch on eating and defecation. If lots of salt is ingested, could cause "salt toxicity" and necessitate veterinary care. I can cause brain swelling and loss of vision. It acting normal, then just continue to monitor. Good luck.
