I have gotten so many conflicting reports about ear-mites. One person told me that anyone anywhere near the ferret or anything it had been on was prone and should be treated as infected. Another person said nope -- only cats and dogs are in danger. And yet another person said it's possible but not TOO likely. (So, basically, I got three replies which were all different!) What I have decided is to ask my local vet and then also the family doctor (to see whether I have an ear infection or ear mites). Then I will share the information I find out -- because it might be of service to some of you in the future. I hope my experience will help everyone and I will do my best to let everyone on the FML know the results of my findings. Thanks to those of you who replied to my question. :o) [Posted in FML issue 1766]
