My vet just asked if I wanted to put our 3 ferrets on heartworm medication. I was surprised as he had never mentioned it before at any of our other vists; and anyway I thought S.Florida was not an "at risk" area. I was wondering if anyone has thoughts/experience/ knowledge of the risks/benefits of heartworm and heartworm medication for ferrets living in the S.Florida area. We don't have dogs or cats (or other similar pets) in the household, but the 3 fuzzbutts are always out and about with us. Dooks, Tina [Posted in FML issue 2676]
