Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Ferret coats and adrenal

Could anyone here direct me to a veterinarian with a cryosurgery lab within
an 8-hour drive of Kansas City, Missouri?

Thanks very much,
Melissa

I have noticed that. I actually wanted to relay the kind of weird case of
Cricket, a little formerly stray girl that's taken up residence here at my
house. When she came in, she had a nasty mystery diarrhea illness but had
THE most wonderful coat - it was soft, silky, and shiny. No signs of
adrenal disease. We eventually got her over the diarrhea problem, and
right around then, her coat changed to being coarse and rough. I kind of
chalked it up to stress, poor nutrition (her diarrhea was malabsorbtive),
etc. She still didn't have "classic" adrenal signs. Her vulva was tiny,
there was no hair loss.

Then she got the tiniest bit of hair loss right at the base of her tail
(uh-oh).
