Greetings all! I've got a question and I apologize if the topic has been addressed a jillion times before but.... I live in Maine where the mosquitos rival the size of helicopters. Not only is their bite vicious but heart worms are prevalent because of them. I understand that our little ferret-friends are suseptible to heartworms. Since I often take my ferret for a walk, I am going to be very concerned about heartworms. What do I do to prevent my fur-kids from getting heartworms? What heartworm meds are effective? Or is there a website that addresses this issue? I'd appreciate any responses! BTW, I'm going to Ferret Fun Day in N. Conway, NH (taking my grandparents who will be up visiting from PA!) and hope to meet some of you there! (Hey! All of us FML'ers oughtta wear a T-shirt or pin that says FML so we can actually MEET!) :-) Renee Renee Punchbug's Carpet Sharks http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/3157 [Posted in FML issue 2664]
