Hello All: I have to strongly disagree with Mr. Lipinski's post regarding using Fleet Enemas to clean ferret ears. I am a (human) audiologist/hearing specialist. Using irrigation in humans to clean ear canals can cause perforation of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) if done incorrectly (angled in the wrong position), with too much pressure, and/or with a weakened ear drum. There is also the problem of leaving an ear canal wet - this increases the chance of developing an external canal infection. I would never attempt to remove wax from a human ear without being able to visualize an intact eardrum and to ensure that the skin appears healthy. I then check the ear after cleaning to ensure that no damage was done. If you have to irrigate ferret ears, I would use a product designed for it, not a product designed for the other end of the body! Leanne [Posted in FML 6234]
