Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] dr. diagnosed fleas, but am having
doubts

Hi Shelly,
It is hard to say for sure what the "little red dots"
are, but they may be chiggers. Ivermectin works well
for chiggers. Frontline and flea shampoos would be other
treatment options for chiggers.
Hope that helps,
