WARNING-OT-Flea Product

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I just received this warning regarding Bio-Spot (brand) Stripe-on Flea Control for Cats and Ferrets from some online friends who are into rescuing animals and wanted to pass it on so that you may help in preventing more deaths due to this product. Thanks.

Here is the reason why to Not use "Bio-Spot( brand )Stripe-on Flea

Control For Cats and Ferrets.", not this year, certainly. We had good

results with the uses of Bio-Spot products in years before this one,

and had fully expected the same...but with a single tiny spot-on

application, just a single drop of the stripe-on, on one of our five-

year-old rescues whom we have had in residence for four years and who

has never had any sign of reactions before, little Appalonia

KissyFace Ferret went into head-thrown-back, gasping convulsions and

died within 30 seconds, even as I tried to wash it off of her.

When we got to our veterinarian whose offices are exactly 3 minutes

away from our Sanctuary, he was very sorry, and advised us not to use

any of the Bio-Spot stripe-on on any of the cats or ferrets at all.

He stated he'd recently had three cats come in to him killed by the

use of the Bio-Spot's Stripe-on and it turned out that the chemicals

used to kill fleas in it are over-highly concentrated ( in this

year's production) so he firmly recommends that no one use any of the

Bio-Spot Stripe-On for either their ferrets

***Or their cats *** at all, whatsoever.

Poor little Appalonia Kissyface's death

saved the lives of 7 cats and 36 other ferrets, including the life of

her dear cage-mate, Maggie Mae Moxie Ferret.

We sincerely hope this warning may be in time to save many, many

more.

A much saddened Wes Hurley and Susie Lee of the Ferret and Dove

Sanctuary of Pensacola, Fl.
