Fleas In Ferrets

broken image

Fleas can infest on ferrets, too. This is quite common in multi-pet households when the cat or dog is also infested with fleas. However, you should never use the same anti-flea medication that you use on your pet cat or dog.A heavy flea infestation can cause severe anemia and skin irritations. Just like in dogs and cats, some ferrets are extremely sensitive to flea saliva and can develop an allergic reaction. Flea medications that are used in cats or dogs are not always safe for ferrets. Unfortunately, there are not many anti-flea products that are specially formulated for ferrets. You should ask your Savannah, GA veterinarian for a flea treatment that is proven safe and effective for ferrets.However, veterinarians may choose to use off-label products as long as they are sure that it is safe and given in appropriate doses.
