Subject: Question on bald patch on back
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Message-ID: <177.da03256.2a9d6ef1@aol.com>

I have a question on my 3.5 year old female ferret, Coco. Just recently, I
noticed a bald patch about the size of a quarter on the middle of her back.
It seems like it just appeared overnight. Shes eating and playing just fine.
There is no other hair loss anywhere else. She does scratch alot though.
Shes been that way since I've gotten her last year. I was wondering if this
could be a sign of adrenal disease? Shes getting up their in age so I worry
more frequently now. Could something else cause this? Her partner in crime
is fine. He has no problems whatsoever. They stay in their room all day and
come out with me at night. I know there is no way she could of gotten into
something. Any ideas?

Thanks Alot!
