Sounds like the ferret's ear is painful. Could you have caused some trauma
to the tympanic membrane by deep cleaning? Sensitivity to the ear cleaner or
infectious causes are possibilities too. This might be one to get checked
out.
P.S. Currently the most efficaceous treatment against ear mites is
Revolution (selamectin). I use the puppy/kitten dose. This not only takes
care of ear mites but is also effective against fleas, ticks, hookworms,
roundworms, and is a heartworm preventative.
