Hi Jeana and Deborah,
Actually Pfizer recommends the cat size Revolution
(5-15 pound cat) for ferrets. When they did a preliminary
study with the kitten size (0-5 pounds), 1 out of 10 ferrets
developed heartworms, but none of the ferrets treated with
the cat size Revolution developed heartworms. There were
no safety probelms with the cat size dose.
For cases of ear mites or sarcoptic mites, a second dose
3 weeks later is recommended.
Hope that clears things up,
Jerry Murray, DVM
