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?
