Hi,
 
As an ingenue I'm interested in the frequency of intestinal parasitism.
Specifically Round, hooks, tapes and whips.  I have 6 ferrets at the moment
and routinely dose them monthly for heartworm and fleas.  These are
relatively common parasites in dogs and some of them in cats.  I know
heartworm can affect ferrets but I thought they seldom suffered from
intestinal parasites.  The transit time is so short that any parasites
would need to hang on hard!  I am in Australia.
 
TIA
