Hi,
As a rescue, I've seen alot of ferrets with adrenal disease. Charlie Brown started with loss only on the stomach. We decided to wait, but sure enough the hair loss continued in the tradional manner and he went in for adrenal sx in 3/02. The left was removed and it would found that he also has liver cancer. He's doing great and it was a lesson learned.
