within a week and she shows no sign of vulva swelling nor

because she is unable to reach some of the areas in which she
is losing hair. I have had many adrenal babies and there is
normally hair loss at the base of the tail moving up the back and
down the tail but as you can see the loss is at the neck and
down to the end of her back.

I just posted a couple days ago (message #8310) about a
friend's ferret Otto who over the space of 3 days had significant
hair loss along his spine, accompanied in this case with reddish
spots like seen in some adrenal ferrets. Now seeing the
pictures of this little girl, I'm beginning to suspect that Otto is
adrenal as well and that YES it can happen suddenly.
