Questions...will the remaining supply be safe for future use?  IOW, will
it go bad if the tube is opened, or if you create a hole in the tube
with the needle?  Should it be refridgerated after opening, sealed in an
airtight package, etc?  This is not an attempt at being argumentative or
anything...I am genuinely interested.  Any vets out there know about the
pros/cons of using part of a vial and storing the rest?
 
Also, I noticed the other day that the flea halt products now read "for
cats and ferrets".  Just thought that was interesting...they've actually
started marketing them for ferrets, now.
