Our vet said to never use flea dip on a ferret, and in fact she said to not use sprays either. I agree with the moderator's note that you should definitely check with your vet first before using something like that.

A local shelter (not a ferret shelter) had a puppy that had horrific fleas. They dipped the puppy---and the puppy was 'burned' by the dip. She's healed now, but she looked like she'd been in a fire, it was so bad. I'm not saying this will happen, but if it 'can' happen---I think I'd rather get Revolution or Frontline or something like that to take care of the problem.

**I'm not a vet**

I know my vet says that whatever you use on CATS, you can use on ferrets, so why not try a flea dip or bath - over the counter. My friend just used one on her cat and it killed all the ticks too!!

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy cow - what a ride!"
