Cindy,
My vet uses Revolution and weighs each ferret; then administers a dose according to their weight. There's too great a variation in weights - one size doesn't fit all. My largest gib weighs 4.25 lbs., my littlest sprite weighs 1.25 lbs. It would not make sense to give each the same dose, just because they are both ferrets.
I agree with you, if possible, its best to dose them according to individual weights.

[The dosing has to also reflect which
parasites are being treated for. Heartworm
needs more than fleas w Revolution, for
example. -- Moderator]
