KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN



I did find a couple references that it can be used on a rat but not sure about squirrels? I would be cautious, some of this stuff can be pretty dangerous to a little fellow like Kazee. I hope someone here can comment of possible dosing amounts, I would imagine that it would be a VERY small dose. I know that generally, people here prefer kitten Revolution (and a lesser number of people here like the 1.87% Ivermectin paste which is also very inexpensive and can be purchased at a feed store for about $5). If you get any of these, dose amount is REALLY important. Too much Ivermectin for example can be fatal! Let us know if you need dosing help!

How is Kazee doing?:wave123

I've read some terrible things about Adams. All kinds of nasty reactions including death in many animals. My parents used it for their outside cat without any problems, but I know for ferrets and rabbits it's not recommended at all due to the high number of deaths.

Personally, I try to stay away from the stuff totally
