Hi,

I always thought that Revolution wasn't active against ticks?

On the same note:
-What about the combination of Frontline and revolution? Some people asked me this because they want to use revolution for ear mite, and Frontline-spray for ticks. Are there any precautions to be taken? How long should one wait before applying Frontline when one has just applied Revolution?
(Same for Advantage and Revolution, and Avantage and Frontline: any interactions?)

-What about the new Bayer-Product called "Advocate"? It's a spot-on containing Imidacloprid and Moxidectin and is active against fleas, ear mite, other mites, Ancylostoma, Toxocara and heartworm, just like Revolution. Do you think this is safe for ferrets? And again: what about using it in combination with Frontline, to get rid of the ticks?

Thanks in advance,
Anke
