I had a similar problem over twenty years ago, and the vet prescribed the dog's ear drops. I pointed out that it was only licensed for dogs. The vet reassured me that it wasn't licensed for ferrets as it had not been extensively trialled on them but they would sort the ferrets problem, which they did. I'd take the risk and use a drop or two from the dogs prescription.
