Hi everyone.....it is me again.  Well I think the ear mite problem is
gone but one of my fuzzies it itchy all over, but mainly the ear area.
That is why I took him to the vet thinking ear mites.  And he was treated
for that.  I took him back to the vet and they looked in his ears and
found a very clean ear.  They don't know why he is scratching so much.
It get so bad his tail turns into a "bottlebrush tail".  The vet give
him a little shot of cortisone but that is just helping a little.  I am
afraid when that wears off he'll be scratching a lot again.  I've been
researching on a itchy ferret and I can't come up with anything on the
skin that he might have.  When I wash the ferts bedding it get an extra
rinse so I doubt it is soap.  The vet thinks it is an allergy to
something new but I can't think of anything and I am at a loss.
 
Could anyone out there help me with ideas?
