I should have realized. My new ferret has ear mites or something - like my first one did but not my second. He's got those tiny bits of brown something in his ears and a little bit on his belly. Someone once said these were ear mite droppings or something but the medication they gave me didn't work so I wonder if maybe it wasn't. Also, someone else said that it wasn't ear mites (don't remember who). Can anyone help me on this - what should I do. I fail to believe I'm supposed to just make him live with it as some people have told me I must. It doesn't seem to bother him but I know it'll just get worse and cake in his ears possibly endangering his hearing. -Clint Ginger and Elmer [Posted in FML issue 0837]
