Things You'll Need
- Ivermectin
- Flea control shampoo
- Flea comb
- Flea control product
Instructions
Give your ferret the recommended dose of ivermectin. It can be given orally or through an injection. You may need to give it again in a couple of weeks, so get your ferret rechecked to make sure the worms are gone.
Bath your ferret in a shampoo that is suitable for kittens. A flea comb will help remove fleas from around the face. You may need to repeat this weekly until the fleas are under control.
Apply a flea control product to your ferret. Check other animals in your house for fleas and treat them accordingly, too.
Wash your ferret's bedding in hot water and vacuum several times to remove additional fleas or eggs. If you choose to flea bomb your house, make sure to remove your pets before doing so. Wash your ferret's cage, bedding and toys.
