I recently read about an oral medication to be given to dogs and cats on a monthly basis to pprevent flea infestations. Does anybody (vets?) know whether these are approved for ferrets or if there is a similar product for ferrets? They don't have fleas now, but we want to be prepared. Two summers ago they were miserable with the scratching. The only thing that seemed to help was flea powder, but I wonder about its effect on our ferrets. By the way, my wife and I have been lurkers on this list for over six months. We have two ferrets named Coco and Bandit who are approx. two years old. We live in FFZ Massachusetts.....hence the anonymous posting. -Peter- [Posted in FML issue 1167]
