>The ear mite shots (Ivomec) work really well... 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. I also like to give them a bath using a gentle flea shampoo to kill any mites that may be outside the ears. I like all natural Flea-flea. My vet suggested the formula of 1 part Ivermectin to 9 parts of a light oil (like Safflower). I keep all my oil mixtures in the refrigerator. You can warm slightly before use. Put a couple drops directly in ears twice weekly until the mites are gone. I have found this to work better than injectable Ivermectin. -Carla [Posted in FML issue 2972]
