There's no Linatone for ferrets, although there is Ferretone, which is pretty much the same thing. If you get Linatone, get the cat one. Doug et al. asked: >PS - anyone know of any (ughh) flea products that are safe for fuzzies? Anything that says it's okay on a kitten, mainly pyrethins. Look in the FAQ for some more information, and in the "Fleas, Ticks and Your Pet" file that the FAQ refers to.

It probably is, if only in the same way that your fingers turn orange from snacking on Cheetos. Our ferrets get yellowish chins at shedding season, apparently from the Petromalt we give them more regularly then. >I'm wondering if The Program (the cat version) is safe to use on ferrets? According to BIG in a previous issue, "An excellent post on the subject appears in issue 1169. According to that, someone at Ciba Geigy suggested 30 mg/kg." On May 20 (whichever issue that was), Neil Vitro said, "Ciba has done no testing on ferrets, and could not guarantee safety. However, the chemists at Ciba that [my vet] spoke with said that there should be no effect on mammals, and that only insects should be affected." -- - Pam Greene Ferret Central <http://www.optics.rochester.edu:8080/users/pgreene/> or send INDEX FERRET in email to <[log in to unmask]> [Moderator's note: The "dog" Linatone and the "cat" Linatone are exactly the same product with a different label. Ferretone is slightly different though I doubt that is of much significance. The manufacturer might not agree on that point tho! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1641]
