fernruby 6 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Is there frontline for ferrets?? or is the dog one ok? thanks Quote Link to post
barry lurcher 27 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 no dont use the dog one watever you do the one to use is the pump spray you can only get this with a piscription it costs about 18 quid but you only use about 3-4 sprays put a rubber glove on spray the glove then rub all over the ferret the bottle lasts years it rids them of fleas ticks you can do the dogs with it if you want as well a spot on for the dogs is much cheaper ! sorry yes its called frontline spray Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Is there frontline for ferrets?? or is the dog one ok? thanks No there isn't one for ferrets specific , but lots use the spray which you will have to get from a vets, the spot on for cats is available from lots of chemists, I haven't use the spot on treatment so cant comment on it, but I have used the spray with good results, its also effective on ticks Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Cant you use Front Line spot on for Cats, as it does Kittens at 8 Weeks, Quote Link to post
barry lurcher 27 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 dont really know about kitten spot on i asked the vets and they said they were too strong cannot garrantee they wouldnt be a reaction or worse but i must say for a little bottle of frontline it goes a long way it fecking stinkings as well until it dries plenty of ventilation for the ferrets as well after aplication Quote Link to post
