[celtic 28]

MY FERRET ESCAPED LAST WEEK AND WAS FOUND LAST NIGHT BUT IT IS COVERED IN TICK, THERE TOO SMALL TO PULL OFF YET, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE WHAT TO DO WITH HIM?? CAN YOU BUY SPRAYS, GAVE HIM A FERRET SPOT ON BUT NOT SURE ITS HELPED, THERE ALL OVER HIS BODY AND A COUPLE IN HIS EAR!!! MY MRS IS PESTERING ME TO TAKE IT TO THE VETS BUT DONT FANCY TAKING A FERRET TO THE VET LOL

 

WE HAVE A WEIRDO WOMAN WHO FEEDS ALL THE STRAY CATS AND HE'S BEEN HANGING ABOUT THERE ON HIS BID FOR FREEDOM, THE FACE COVERED IN CAT FOOD WAS A GIVE AWAY!!!

You should be able to bathe him in a shampoo for ticks and fleas that is safe for a kitten and whilst bathing him, you should be able to remove all the ticks or fleas.Remeber to change his bedding too as this can hold them

cheers mate will give it a try he's just a new ferret not sure what he'll be like to bath lol

Some like it some dont ......just dont get his head under the water. When i bathe mine ...not very often......i use the kitchen sink and just run warm water from the tap onto them. And just hold him in the position so he cant bite ya .....just in case!!!! Only had one ferret nip me but that was cause the water wasnt quite warm enough. Good luck hope it helps

You can get ferret spot ons from pet shops. That will sort it.

Ferret Ticks

 

Use ONLY frontline spray as a treatment,, all the rest is pretty poor,, spot on is rubbish

 

ONLY REMOVE THEM WITH AN AUTOM TICK PULLER nothing else,, don`t muck around with ticks,, get it wrong and you risk serious infection,

If you pull the tick incorrectly you risk it emptying its contects into the host causing infection.

 

I always advise people,, what would you do if the tick was on one of your kids,, People will advise allsorts,, nail varnish,, fag ends, vasaline etc etc,, all fekin rubbish, all you will do is aggrivate the tick causing problems,, They are easy to deal with,, but use the corrects tools

 

AUTOM REMOVER and FRONTLINE SPRAY,,, nothing else

Just blast it with front line and pull them of..if you can see them they wont be too small..better of removing them now before they start removing the ferret's blood.

Front line

That will sort the horrible little b*****ds

This proves you know nothing about ticks mate,, if your child had a tick, would you pour vodka on it !??? I doubt it,,

 

This is exactely the type of thing you should not do !!! has anyone here heard of Lymes disease,, and the way it destroys your life !?? No??

 

Don`t want to sound like a twat mate,, you do what you want,, but this is the wrong thing to advise
