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 [Posted in FML issue 1209]
