Well just to let you know that I applied the Frontline to the boys yesterday
and and am pleased to announce no ill effects from it. I did exactly what I
was told by Vets and they are all well.

That's great.  Do you have to repeat the process for several weeks, like if
you were using ivermec?

It is made by a company called Merial Animal Health Ltd, in Harlow England
but I am sure it would be worldwide. I'll find out and let you know.

I'm in England, so I'll be able to get hold of it easy enough, but others
here may be interested to know if it is available in other countries.  I
will definitely give it a go next time my lot need de-bugging!

Lest anyone read this thread without reading the original, we should
probably reiterate that Jackie specified Frontline Spray for Puppies.  She
also stated that you spray a small amount, about the size of a penny, in
your hand and rub it into the fur working backwards from the tail.

Frontline Spray for Cats is also fine for rats - I know vets who prescribe
it for rat owners and have used it on my rats several times, the first time
being 5 years ago.

But spraying into your hand....NOT a good idea. Wear rubber gloves, and
preferably spray onto a piece of cotton wool, then rub the rat with the
cotton wool.
