I have a 3 year old female ferret who is losing hair on her tail. This is the only sympton of adrenal she has, I took her to you vet about 3 months ago, he recommened we watch for a few months, it's time to take her back, she has lost more hair on her tail, but it's not bald and there is no other hair loss and no other symptoms. At the time my vet recommended we should probably think about doing a Tennessee panel test first to double check if it's adrenal and if it is try a regime of Lupron instead of surgery. He has seen good results doing both, surgical option or medication option only? I would appreciciate any feed back from any one out there. This is our first experience with this, since these are our first ferrets. Thank you Chloethewhite
