Jeana,
The ferrets don't like it b/c it is an alcohol based product so you know how much they hate it when the vet puts alcohol on them to take blood or something, it's the same thing. It is very important to get all the product on the skin of the animals, they will squiggle but give the tube a few extra squeezes to make sure it is all on.

The puppy kitten size is what I use to, applied at the back of the neck.

To answer your question about how much is needed to get rid of the mess, well how ever much it takes, read the label instructions in the box, for your dog I belive that you may need to repeat the dose in two weeks, but read the lable first.

Consult with you vet about re-dosing the revolution to your ferrets in two weeks though, if your not sure or your vet is not sure have them call Pfizer's US drug safety.

I hope this helps!

Shes being treated with revolution. Ok, this vet wasnt even sure if it could be used on ferrets and i told him that the vets here says it can. So he gave me some puppy/kitten kind. Im not sure if i got a whole tube on Bandit but i know that i only got a drop on Autumn because she acted like it hurt her or something. Please tell me, HOW MUCH is safe for them and how often is needed to get rid of this mess? I feel so bad for all my animals now! And does anyone have anything that i can print out for this vet ? I tried to get him to sign up here but .....i dunno. Thanks in advance!
