There is ALMOST nothing else in ferrets that will cause the pattern
of hairloss you're seeing. If it was me, I'd put the money you'd
spend on a Tennessee panel towards the surgery.

A female ferret's vulva is not always swollen and they often grow
back hair for no apparent reason. In this case, I'd listen to your
vet.
