Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] tail trouble
I have a 3 1/2 year old boy that has the same problem...in addition to the
beginning stages of the adrenal gland disease. When I brought Watson to the
vet, he told me use peroxide on his tail. It took a few weeks for his tail
to look normal again, but it did work. Take a cotton ball and just rub it
up and down his tail twice daily. I have found it easier to do while he was
sleeping because he is not going to try to lick it off. after a week or so,
you will be able to actually remove the black heads with your hands. He and
I have turned it into a game actually. Watson's hair has started to go
back. It does work...take it from a very concerned mommy. Good luck.
