Subject: itchy & bald spots

I have 3 girls that seem to itch more than normal. I bath them no
more than 1ce a month, use sensitive skin shampoo as well as
conditioner and have checked them for fleas. I can't think of
anything else. It doesn't seem to bother them that much but it can't
go unnoticed when it's as often as it is. I have also noticed that on
the older 2 (1 1/2yrs and 1yr) that every so often they get bald
patches in the groin area but only in this area (2 one on each side
just insde their legs in circle form. The baby (16 weeks) as of yet
does not but seems to itch just as much. Am I being a paranoid mom or
is there anyone with info out there. The local Vets aren't much help
with ferrets...there aren't many in the area that will even look at
them & the one that does I had a problem when I first got the middle
girl with bleeding from the behind & they shrugged it off before even
seein her until I insisted on them looking at her
