Hi Everyone, I thought this might be a great place to ask this question? In the past a couple ferrets have come into our shelter that have had Califlower ears. I had always thought Califlower ears were caused from a birth defect. But one of the very well educated vets told me that Califlower ears are caused by severe mite infection. Then another person said that its caused from breeding ferrets sucking on each others ears, which for me is hard to believe. This most handsome ferret just got turned into our shelter and he has Califlower ears, of course down deep I want to bring him to my house, but with those ears and the problems involved in cleaning Califlower ears, I just don't know. As if I need another ferret!LOL Charleen and the Wa. Tails. [Posted in FML issue 4048]
