Hi!
I just got my ferret a few days ago and he's been scratching a bit and also I can see little reddish dots in his ears. Any advice? I've got no idea if this is normal or not. (also he is 12 weeks old on Thursday)
Thank you x

Sounds like classic ear mites- he’ll need medication from the vet for that, as well as any other pets you have, or they’ll just hop between animals.

Yes do go to the vet as mentioned. They will know the correct dosage to give

hey guys! I just brought him to the vet and turns out he has an ear (right ear) infection so they gave me drops to put in his ear once a day. They also gave him an injection and he is very tired now. Thanks for the advice though guys, he's doing well now x

Poor lad. I assume they saw nothing on the microscope after swabbing for the mites?
