Subject: Re: (liquid) heartworm preventatives

Hi Moxie,
Actually none of the heartworm preventatives are
approved for use in ferrets. With that said
yes, Revolution was studied in ferrets and the 5-15 pound
cat version is recommended for ferrets. The Interceptor brown
0-10 pound dog is another option for ferrets.Mine will actually eat
the Interceptor. Heartgard for cats or small dogs (0-25 pounds) is
another option.
The only liquid version is diluted ivomec (1ml ivomec to 9 mls
propylene glycol)
given orally at 0.1ml per pound once a month.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
