Hi MT,
It is hard to tell what is going on with your ferret,
but 3 common problems that cause hair loss on the
tail are adrenal gland disease, stress, and bad nutrition.
What are you feeding your ferret? Do you have other ferrets
with her? Does she have any itchy skin between the shoulder
blades, a swollen vulva, or an increase in musky odor, etc?
Hope that helps,
