Here are a couple of quotes from Jerry Murray, DVM, that I dug out of the FHL archives earlier this evening. I have also been looking into Revolution today to learn more about it.

QUOTE 1:
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

QUOTE 2:
Advantage, Frontline/Frontline Plus and Revolution
are all safe to use on ferrets! All 3 work well for fleas.
Frontline will also kill ticks, and Revoultion will also kill ticks,
ear mites, skin mites, and prevent heartworms.
Advantage and Frontline remain on the skin/oil layer and
are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Revolution is absorbed
into the bloodstream.
Hope that clears things up,
Jerry Murray, DVM
