The ear mite shots (Ivomec) work really well. When we have had infestations of ear mites in the shelter, we got a bottle of the oral Ivomec from our vet. One drop on the gums and another dose in two weeks or so and they are gone! One more thing - make sure to change their bedding before you put them back in their cage after medicating. Ear mites can live outside the ears (at least for a short period of time) and you don't want to reinfect your ferret.
