Hi Adrienne,
I hope I am not being to blunt.
The recommended dose of Revolution for ferrets
is one tube of the 5-15 pound cat size per ferret!
This is the dose that the company that makes it
(Pfizer) recommends. When they did a small trial
with the 0-5 pound kitten size tube per ferret it was NOT
100% effective in preventing heartworms, but the 5-15 pound
cat size WAS 100% effective in preventing heartworms.
That is why the recommended dose is one tube of the 5-15
pound cat size per ferret once a month. Thus the safe and
EFFECTIVE dose is one tube of the 5-15 pound cat size monthly.
Hope that clears up the confusion,
Jerry Murray, DVM
