hi everyone... i have a question about heartworm.  are ferrets susceptible
to them?  i had thought they were, so i took murphy to the vet and she said
that the ONLY animals they can kill are dogs.  she said they can get into
a cat or a ferret, but because it's not the optimum host, they can't
reproduce or something?  anyway, she STRONGLY urged me NOT to get the
heartgaurd preventative medicine and i didn't.  at the vet they did test
him for heartworms he didn't have them.  any info on this would be helpful,
as i live in maryland and it's mosquito-land!
 
thanks, vicky and murphy :o)
