Hi Katherine
I have read that Advantage is the one for ferrets, not Frontline..as that
aids in killing ticks as well.  I work in a small animal hospital and read
that it was safe {Advantage} and told the vets who work there..as they
wondered..and had questions about this.
 
But then Frontline is only Advantage but with a little stronger poison.
Advantage is used with just one or two drops..depending on the size of the
ferret...Also, Mycodex is good but could be drying to their skin...whereas
Ecto-Soothe is an Emollient flea killing shampoo and non drying
 
Also Frontline is a bit more expensive than Advantage..and like all other
products it may not be suitable for use after it has been opened for a
while..where as Advantage comes in very small tubes..and the tubes for
Frontline are alot larger.  Hope this helps
