Hi all

One of our ferrets is having odd hair loss. It's been about 1 year since both of his adrenals were removed. He has a bald spot on his uper chest and he is very thin over the shoulder blades. Can this be adrenal problems even after both have been removed?or could it be something else? The only other thing we have noticed is he has these small red spots (they look a little like zits) I don't know how long he has been getting these little red spots, we just noticed them this week but he could of been getting them for a long time since they are so small, we would not have noticed when all his fur was there. Any ideas? Our vet is on vacation until Dec 3 is this something that can wait or should we take him to another vet
