Each of my ferrets that has had rat tail was later diagnosed by the vet as having adrenal disease. However, I do not know if you should extrapolate from that...

I use to have Rat Tail every year but after changing their diet to fewer
eggs and more raw rabbit and pigeon meat with less kibble I've not seen
it for about 5/6 years now. I did own a jill that went on to go
completely hairless but she was started RT at 8 and died at13. Chris.
