I have two ferrets, they are both two years old. We purchased them as kits.
One of our little girls had hair loss on the tip of her tail which has since grown back, but farther up her tail near the base of her body she has loss hair. Which in truth has puzzled my daughter and myself.
The other little girl has hair loss on the tip of her tail also which hasn't grown back at this time. Which again has us puzzled.
Both girls have the itches all the time and we have tried the ferret shampoo that was given to us by a vet but it doesn't seem to help them stop scratching a lot.
A thought came to me yesterday about wet tail in hamster's and gerbils and was wondering if the same can happen to ferrets?
If there is anyone out there that knows anything about this please let me know.
thank you in advance.
