never seen it all


Recommended Posts

after 40 years ferreting my two jills have got tics had to look on here to see what to do . i sent the wife off to the vets to buy frontline spray (the vet had to put down that it was for my lurcher as they cant give it out for ferrets ?)anyway ive been up to them this morning with rubber gloves on my daughter sprayed some frontline on my hand and i then rubbed it into the ferrets taking care not to over do it as the vet spooked me a bit by saying not to be used on ferrets. so heres hoping it works as im off to some new permision tommorw ,5 year set aside thats going to be put back into production once weve got rid of the rabbits ?

one of my ferrets had five on its neck last yearand had never been entered in a rabbit warren that seaon.im guessing it had picked them up off one of the rabbits tat had been put in for it.i borrowed john's tick twister and they were off in seconds.these tools are well worth investing in and are worth every penny. :thumbs:

I wouldn't of believed this until i tried it,just rub them gently with the end of your finger in a clockwise motion for about a minute and they just fall off.

I work sheepland so the ticks can be full on :censored: Tick pullers are fine they do the job but sometimes their too small to get with the pullers.Used frontline spray last winter after a major tick attack,2 days later not a tick alive :victory: .Yes it's expensive but worth every penny...2 sessions this season not a tick on my 5 :thumbs:

Sheepland!!, so that is why my ferrets are always getting ticks, i also work sheepland, never really put two and two together though.

 

I use a tick puller, never had any problems so far, but where can you get frontline? is it only available from the vets on prescription?

you can get frontline from lloyds chemist mate so my wife reliably informs me she gets it in our local shop for about £22.00 atvb
