Subject: Skin problems
I have ferrets that have skin problems. I had three that had
the same problem but one passed away yesterday after a very
large tumor removal from his left adrenal. I don't know
whether this problem is adrenal related or not. I have two
other ferrets that were separated from these three until
recently. Now one of the two is getting the same problem with
his skin. They are all itchy. Their skin is really pink also
there are sores in different places on their bodies. Their
skin is really dry also. My vet checked for parasites and
could not find any. He injected the three with Ivermectin and
put them on Pnamycin aquadrops three times a day. I have also
been giving them fatty acids with their food.
It seemed to come on all of a sudden when the weather got
dryer here. I have attached a picture of one of the ferrets.
Thanks
