How does one tell if a rash might be from ear mites, fleas, dry skin, allergies or too much scrathing? The ferrets do get advantage once a month, only one ferret is scratching her ears and a home microscope test has shown no mites, considering their ears were cleaned yesterday. Inspection of the fur found no fleas, but a bath will be given tomorrow to verify this. Vaseline is being applied to the tail, but may be Vitamin E would be better. Only two Albino ferrets are effected at this time. When would be a good time to take the ferret to the vets? They are all acting fine in all ways. Thank You All for the help.
