Could this be seasonal hair loss? (The archives are not allowing me to search right now, so I can't confirm anything I say, and none of it should be trusted.) But, if memory serves me correctly...
Some ferrets do have seasonal hair loss on their backs. The way to tell if it is seasonal vs adrenal is by looking at the bottoms of their feet. If the feet still have hair, it is most likely to be seasonal. Also, do you have any idea how long she had had hair loss?
