We can't get either of those over the counter here. The vet won't give them without tests for Adrenal.
I've discussed it with my vet and other owners, some of whom have Adrenal ferrets, they all agree that it is probably another cause for Ferrari's balding.
To treat with either medication is a very expensive option. Ferrari isn't ill at the moment so we are trying other methods of treatment first.
