Dear Clover:
One of the more mysterious skin problems in ferret medicine are the
round, temporary skin lesions that tend to pop up in the skin of
ferrets with adrenal disease. They are more of a vascular dilation
than any ulceration of the skin, and tend to disppear within 3-4 days
as quickly as they come. I've never had the opportunity to see a
biopsy becuase they tend to go away so quickly, so I don't really have
a a handle on it, but I would like to see the images for confirmation.
They don't usually require treatment, but the adrenal disease does.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM
