Ringworm

                           --------



Ringworm (a fungal disease of the skin similar to athlete's foot)

has been reported in young ferrets and may be transmitted by

infected cats.  As a rule of thumb, products manufactured and

intended for use in and on cats (dewormers, flea products,

ringworm medications, etc.) are safe and suitable for use in and

on ferrets, with one exception:  flea collars should never be

used on ferrets.
