I once had some ferrets that had ear mites, and I tried the oily stuff that goes in their ears. I had limited success, on account of the squirminess of the guys during application. Then one of my vets gave them each a single subcutaneous injection of _something_, I forget the name of it (help me out here, pre-vets!). No more ear mites. The stuff was incredibly effective. Assuming that there are no nasty side effects, I really can't recommend using anything else. - Anon. [Posted in FML issue 0462]
