QUESTION:
I have two 16 week old ferrets; 1 boy and 1 girl, when the boy plays with Sasha he is very rough with her ears. Afterwards her ears are very raw and sore. What if anything can I do to help her out - other than try and keep him away from her ears?

ANSWER:
You should put some Vaseline, or an antibiotic ointment (if they are open sores) on her ears, he will slide off of them, PLUS if you have some BITTER APPLE you can put some on your finger and rub in her fur below the ears and on top of her head, he will not like the taste. DO NOT SPRAY as you must not get in eyes.
