I am not a vet, just a long time ferret owner. I use the full grown cat
size tubes. I use 0.1 ml per pound of ferret. With sarcoptic mange I'd
apply it every two weeks for about three months. Be sure to get it right
on the skin on the back of the neck. It will get them.

Look under foot rot in the archives. One of our vets recommends using a
whole tube, but I think the 0.1 ml per pound is adequate.
