Subject: Re: Heartworm Meds/ProHeart6

Hi Katherine,
No, ProHeart6 is not approved for ferrets, but none of the heartworm
meds
are actually approved for ferrets. However most have been tested in
small studies to determine if they work in ferrets. ProHeart6 has
not
been studied yet in ferrets. Perhaps some of the folks in Australia
where ProHeart has been out for a longer time may have some
experience with it in ferrets.
In the mean time go with Interceptor, Heartgard, ivomec, or
Revolution.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
