That would be enough for me to have adrenal surgery done. You just can't mess
around when dealing with adrenal gland disease in male ferrets. If you vet
isn't convinced yet, ask him about running the Tennessee panel. Its

surgery if he were mine. The bald butt is a classic symptom of adrenals. Tail
hair loss isn't.
