No, I don't have that experience - with people, yes, but not with
animals.
The way I see it though, it can only help, it can't hurt, so you might
as well give it a try and let us know how it goes. I still don't see
how you can get a ferret to sit still for the treatment without
knocking him out, so perhaps you can find that out and explain it to
us, too. :-)
The needles are usually placed just barely into the skin, so it really
doesn't hurt. (I once had one placed deep in my foot for a case of
plantar fascitis. The AP said it was supposed to hurt like hell, but
even that one didn't bother me.) The procedure is a snap, but I have
not heard one way or the other about it helping any animals.
Good luck,
