Subject: Itchy ferret

I also have an itchy ferret (5 year old male). He has had
some mast type
cell tumors on his face and one on his back lately. His skin
looks reddish
in patches. I started washing him again with a special sulfur
based shampoo
the vet gave me that has helped in the past. He was checked
for adrenal
propblems several months ago by two different vets and neither
felt
anything. He has no hair loss. What are other possible
causes for
itchiness besides adrenal problems?
