Well, I learned a valuable lesson by posting in Alt.Ferrets about those
danged fleas.
 
I bought Asher, my year-old silver mitt, a flea collar.  Afterward, I
started wondering whether it was the right thing to do, so I posted a query.
 
I got quite a few responses, half of which said sure, go ahead, and half of
which described the horrible fate that would befall her if i put one on her.
 
I think the lesson is that I'll get a vet's ruling on it.  Meanwhile, I've
tossed the collar, which by the by does not seem to be terribly effective.

been very different I suspect!  BIG]
