I have no experience with the pill form, but it sounds to me like
you're paying way too much for the liquid. I used to get 60 ml at a
time and paid about $25. If you're giving 2 ferrets 0.5 ml twice a
day, that works out to 60 ml a month. Are you buying it directly
from the vet? If so, maybe you should have him call in a
prescription to a Walgreen's or other discount type drug store and
see if that's cheaper.
