I could be wrong about this but you must make sure it is the frontline for cats that you use, but as I said not to sure, cheers

Just make sure you tell the vet that the Frontline is for ferrets, and you will be ok.

Ask your vet! You have to make it up differently i think cos they are a lot smaller.

Thanks for the replies all,went to the vets wanted £19 consultation fee and a further £18 for the treatment My mate then told me about a little farm shop that charged me £8 for enough frontline to treat 3 ferrets twice ...John

Use the frontline spray not the spot on... the sprays ok to use on ferrets but the spot on is to concentrated ... you will have to get the spray from the vets ... if its been prescribed for a dog of yours get a repeat from the vets

yes use the spray saves a load of money in the long run as it reats ticks & fleas on the dogs & the ferrets .. just do the glove on the coat thing that someone already said
