Unfortunatly not........

There has been 6 days with no hairloss,
but this morning (monday)...
Cookie's hairs are falling again...
on the right side of his body, a big spot
(1"x1") with less hairs...only a few white ones
are still remaining. He's scratching a lot over
there, what can I do to help him ?

However, hairs are still growing on the shoulders...

Remember, the vet told me to wait a month to see
the evolution, and it was a week ago.......
So, I really don't know...If I go to the vet and
she still wants to wait to be sure where the disease
is before surgery,I think it will be very hard for me
to see my little friend loosing its hairs and
its health day after day...

This time I'm sure it's Adrenal Disease...
It can't be normal for a ferret to have hairloss spots
like that ? I'm looking at Cookie's behavior and take
notes... I'm gonna call her vet tonight.

Thanks,

Linda & Cookie
