I've been using Aveeno, Natural Colloidal Oatmeal (100% oatmeal), Bath
Treatment, for our ferret Truman.  We had Aveeno left over from when our
kids (two-legged) had the chicken pox and the pediatrician recommended it
for the itching.  It seems to work for Truman and I haven't seen her
scratch at all since we've started using it.  If Truman is especially
"dirty" I'll use a tiny bit of baby shampoo, but usually I just let her
soak in the tub-water with Aveeno and that gets her plenty clean.
