Subject: Infected scent gland
HI everyone,I have a five year old male ferret that had an infected
scent gland a few weeks ago, my vet shaved the area drew out the
infection with a syringe and gave him a course of antibiotics my
problem now is that his bottom area still seems to be enlarged a
little and his hair doesn't seem to be growing back.If anything he
seems to be losing a little more hair not on his tail but back on his
hips starting where the vet shaved and up a little further.Does this
sound like adreanal or do you think it could be he is still in the
shedding stage, my guys live in an air conditioned room could that be
the problem? One of my female ferrets experienced a sparse coat last
year but in a couple of months she was beautiful again!Any input
would really be appreciated!Thanks Lisa.
