Hi,

Whenever we have had an earmite problem our vet
prescribed tresaderm (sp?) with ivermectin. These are
ear drops. Kodo and Podo had serious ear mite issues
when they came to me. The drops took care of it.

Please remember that you have to treat all of your
ferrets not just the one with the problem or you won't
get rid of all the mites.

The usual disclaimer applies: I am not a vet nor do I
play one on TV. More often than not, though, when
we've added a ferret to the business ear mites came
along with them.

All the best,
Caity and the fantastic four
