Dooks and greetings from the bereaved Walsh Weasels --- we are missing
Marky so, and Mommy is a bit of a mess, but we are helping her as best
we can... She did smile a bit this morning when Dijon threw his favorite
curlycue ball down into the potty pan, then went snorkeling after it...
Those of you who know Dijon will understand this...!!!
 
Ear mites!  What nasty things!  Have you tried oral Ivermectin ?  Works
like a charm!!  The doses are very very small (best to have your Vet
measure them out into a tuberculin syringe (without the needle head of
course, and doses are based on weight , so be sure the filled syringes
are labeled with the ferrets name so under- or overdosing can't occur)...
administer the dose like you would any other oral med.... then in 14 days
administer the second dose and mites should be gone... these doses are
extremely inexpensive, are much easier to administer and follow thru
with (whereas OTC meds or Tresaderm is a daily cumbersome and expensive
process where success isn't necessarily guaranteed.)
 
Also, if your Vet is reluctant to give oral Ivermectin for you to
administer, it can also be administered in Office either orally or by
injection by the Vet...but there is no reason why you cannot admin.
at home as long as doses are correct for each Fuzzbutt...
 
Successful treatment and inexpensive to boot... Don't you wish it
could always be this way???
