The cap that comes on the Advantage tube makes a good air tight seal and
if sealed with the cap it will keep for a very long time.  Don't stick
a hole in the tube with the needle, open the tube in the normal manner
then use your needle to suck up the 0.2 ml you need for the ferret.
Take the needle off before applying it to the ferret's neck.  No need to
refridgerate it, but you can if you just want to.  If you do, be sure to
let it warm up before putting it on the ferret.  Not that it will hurt
anything, but that sudden cold will startle it and make it jump.  Any
other questions, feel free to ask.
