Hello,
 
I had a question about flea control, and was told about Dr.Bonner's
peppermint soap.  I was wondering if it is okay to wash the ferret in the
stuff.  I also heard that soap kills fleas.  If this is the case, then
wouldn't any soap work to kill fleas.
 
I was also wondering how safe this new flea pill is.  I keep forgeting
to bring the name of it to school with me.  But it is something like
lubrifen or something.  It is supposed to inhibit the flea eggs from
hatching.  It does not kill the flea that bit the animal.  I bought
some of these pills for my ferrets, and was wondering if any of the vets
had anything to say about them.
 
Thanks,
Doug, Pauly, and Odie
