Just a suggestion - have your vet call Meriel and ask what their studies show. Dr [a vet FHL member who treats Vicki's ferrets] (very patient man - LOL) told me more than once - because I JUST HAD TO ASK - Are you sure?, that the manufacturerer recommends the 5-15lb cat size for HeartWorm control.
 
If your vet is giving under-dosing recommendations he needs to know - so do you to fully protect your ferret from heartworms, while if other vets are giving over-dosing information they and we need to know.
 
Let you know how it turns out...

Our vet told us not to use an entire vile/tube on the ferrets. Is this
incorrect? Our smallest ones are about 1.5 lbs. The larger ones get about
2/3 of a vial/tube.

So this is incorrect??

[Moderator's Note:
The amount needed to avoid heartworms is greater than the amount to
avoid fleas.
