My ferrets still have fleas. Can I use Advantage II after Revolution?

Question

I have two ferrets who are over 2 years 1.5 and 2 pounds who got a full flea treatment or revolution 12 days ago and the fleas are back pretty heavy. Can I split a dose of advantage II between them safely or will that be too much?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Revolution is used monthly, so it would not be recommended to apply a dose of Advantage II. Splitting a dose would not be recommended without the advice of your veterinarian to prevent overdose. To resolve a flea infestation, you need to treat the environment for fleas as well as all pets in the house. All pets should be treated monthly for at least 3 consecutive months to break the flea life cycle. Begin treating the environment by vacuuming everywhere then disposing of the bag or emptying the canister outdoors immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric and dry in the dryer. Use an area treatment afterwards to prevent reinfestation.
