safe flea stuff list for skunks

[ichis-mom]

Been researching flea products that dont contain permitherin
so far i have found
johnsons puppy and kitten herbal oil
johnsons cat flea drops (dog one contains permithrin)
advantage (imidacloprid)
frontline (fipronil)
frontline plus (fipronil and methoprene)

DO NOT USE
biospot and advantix

will update to anything new i can find and greatly appreciate anyone with more info

i know that my vets double check everytime before they persribe for the the skunks that they are okies to use it on them
