I have in front of me some stuff called Beaphar anti parasite spot on for ferrets , it sayes its effective on fleas, lice, mange mites, roundworm & OTHER MITES

 

I have never used the stuff personally & it sayes it contains ivormectin , i origonally got the stuff as it said it was effective against fleas but there seemed to be some confusion as to wether ivormec actually kills fleas so its not been used

 

Worth further investigation though , hope this helps

Frontline spray no, frontline spot on yes that beaphar stuff yes , thornitt , no idea never heard of it

 

to be honest i would call the vets & ask whats the normal routine treatment for earmites in ferrets, the products they use seem to change, at one time i would have been given canaural to shift them & you will need to do all the ferrets

frontline is crap,you need duramitex or benzl

I have just read about Thornit & the bit about applying it to the animals paw as well i assume is because of the scratching at he ears , what a good idea i am going to get some of that
