That is right, Jerri.  My vet turned me on to this info about 3 years ago
and sold me the big dog size and gave me a syringe to measure out the 0.2
ml dose with.  I've used that ever since and am on my second package of
Advantage.  That size package makes 80 ferret doses.

I'd give her a bath and let her dry out for a day, then apply the 0.2 ml
of Advantage.  The bath will get the Marshall's off and I've heard that it
isn't best to apply Advantage immediately after a bath.
