Subject: fleas
Do we ever need help! My poor baby Kiki is infested with fleas. I
have tried daily baths, and bedding changes. (helps some but not
much, and he hates it). Flea sprays which I spray onto my hands and
wipe on him from nose to tail. (spraying directly onto him cause him
to "spas out". I have bombed the house, the dogs, the yard etc. I
just can't seem to get rid of the darn little biters. The dogs have
a few fleas, and the house and yard are pretty clear. They just seem
to adore Kiki. He is miserable, and I don't know what else to do to
help him. Can I put a cat flea drop on him? Can he be dipped? If I
don't find an answer soon I'm afraid I will have to find him a new
home for his own good. He is my first ferret, I've had for about 10
months. I want to get him some freinds, but I can't do it until I
can control these fleas. (I don't want to have to find him a new
home, because he is my baby. I'm in love. But I will if I have to.
I can't stand to see him so miserable) I have called the vet, but
she doesn't have any new answers. (nothing I haven't tried yet). Can
I give him brewers yeast and garlic? That seems to work well for the
dogs. PLEASE HELP
