Ear Infection in Ferrets









Ear infection (Otitis Externa) affects a significant number of ferets and is characterized by inflammation of the soft tissue components of the external ear canal.

Some symptoms to watch out for are:

Pain when the ear is touched
Head shaking
Scratching or rubbing the ears
An odor or discharge from the ear

Take your ferret to the vet to determine the cause of the infection.
