hi,
 
It's been a while since i last posted, so hi!!  Ok the other day i got a
card in the mail from my vet asking me to make an appointment for a blood
test for my dog for heartworm.  It said that its dangerous to give your dog
heartworm meds w/o making sure he/she doesnt have the worms.  But i've been
going there w/ the ferrets longer than the dog, and they've never mentioned
a blood test for ferrets.  I've assumed since its dangerous to give a dog
heartworm meds w/o checking for the worm, wouldnt it be dangerous for
ferrets too???
 
Are ferrets suppose to get a blood test once a year for heartworms too??
Please let me know soon since heartworm season is just around the corner!
 
Thanx,
Karri &  f 'rats
