hello again everyone, i was wondering if any FMLers (vets especially) could answer a question or two concerning fleas. when we adopted our cat in the fall she had a mild case of the fleas and our vet recommended putting her on something called 'program'. tyhis product works from the inside of the animal and renders (i believe) the fleas sterile so they can't reproduce and in turn the fleas disappear completely in one or two life cycles (~1-2 months) with no new fleas again. anyway i was wondering if this is a safe product for ferrets since Cal (in his visits with my parents cat) has gotten a flea problem. the vet here in windsor isn't sure enough about ferrets to recommend it so i was hoping someone out there would have an answer for me. cheers, Mike BTW the 'program' product is made by Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd., the variety i have is suitable for cats up to 4.5 kg. in weight. also the active ingredient is lufenuron (133mg per dose) thanks again, Mike and Cal [Posted in FML issue 1079]
