My vet recommended Advantage flea medicine (for cats and kittens 8

weeks and older and 9 lbs and under) for my ferret. Is this safe
to
use with ferrets and does anyone have any personal experience
using
it? Thanks, Mike


I don't use Advantage, but Frontline instead as Frontline kills both
fleas and ticks. I buy the large dog size, suck it up in a syringe
and put 2-3 drops on each ferret, depending on size. By buying the
large dog size it's much cheaper, the ingredients are the same, just
more medicine in the larger sizes. In answer to your questions,
YES, Advantage is safe for ferrets.
