Dear Christopher:

>blame here.
 
Can't blame either, or have to blame both.  There are no rules here - the
fleas Ctenocephalides canis or C.  Felis are pretty much interchangeable -
they're so close.  Your ferret may be afflicted by eaitehr, and just
because its C.  flies, doesn't mean the dog didn't bring it in.  You might
consider putting the ferret on Advantage as well (1/10th of a cat tube each
month.)
 
With kindest regards,
