Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Ear wax.

Karen,
Has your ferret ever had ear mites or been checked for ear mites? My ferret
had mites was treated for them and got rid of them but he still produces
more ear wax then my other who never had ear mites. I use an ear cleaner
(Epi-otic) that has a drying agent a couple times a month and that seems to
help keep the build up down. I've used Acarrax (works wonders on ear mites)
to get rid of the ugly little critters. KM
