Deworming ferrets

One of my dogs recently got diagnosed with hookworms after a bunch of tests to find out why he was coughing. The vet said I would have to treat every animal in my house (3 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 ferrets). I have fenbendazole liquid 222mg which is safe for ferrets. I used chat gbt to calculate dosage. I’m trying to see if anyone has experience deworming ferrets and if the dosage equation I found is correct. Before you say take them to a vet I’ve already spent roughly 2000 in the last 3 weeks to find out what the cough was from. Another few hundred on dewormers for all the animals that I’ll have to do/spend again in 2-3 weeks. And another couple hundred on preventatives (advance multi cat and dog, and revolution kitten for the ferrets). Please if you have any experience with something like this any advice is helpful.

Amazon puffer has ridges on back.

On of my Amazon puffers I’ve had for about 6 years now started looking really skinny but put some of the weight back on. He has these bumps/ridges on his back he never had before and has been seeming a little more anti-social. Does anyone know what this could be or what I should do?
