Indeed most IF NOT ALL Feline dips are LETHAL to ferrets. We know several
area vets used these on ferrets who were DEAD in a matter of
hours! Excercise ALL CAUTIONS with feline dips on ferrets.
USE ONLY kitten safe ( pyrithrines) flea shampoos for ferrets and rinse
well after you have shampooed!
THE USE OF ADVANTAGE FOR FLEAS IS ONE WHICH ALLOWS THE FLEAS TO BE
ERADICATED W/O A SHAMPOO AT ALL. IT IS SAFE AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT!
