Subject: Re: Advantage flea medicine safe for ferrets?
LOTS of people use this on their ferrets and I have not heard anyone
say they have had any adverse effects. It works great and is
probably one of the best things you can use for fleas.
I never had fleas in my house because none of the critters, cats
included, ever went outside. Then I rescued some feral kittens and
even though I isolated them and they were only in my house for a week
or so, they brought fleas with 'em and everyone got fleas. I freaked
that I would have to deal with this. I used Advantage twice, made
sure I washed all the bedding, etc., and never saw another flea
again. That was over a year ago and I have not had to use Advantage
again after the first two treatments.
A little tip... All the different sizes of Advantage (small kitten to
large dog) contain the exact same concentration of the active
ingredient. So if you get the large dog size, you'll get MUCH more
product and many more treatments for only a few dollars more.
