The ferret may be showing early symptoms of adrenal, hairloss on
tail, but
is otherwise active and healthy. Except he keeps getting little
blood
blisters that show up on various parts of his body. They break
open, scab
up, and disappear. There are no signs of scratching or other
trauma, and
the ferret seems unperturbed by this, though the owners are
concerned.
These are very likely to be skin masses, mast cell tumors frequently
present in this manner, although they could be other types as well.
