Sounds like Bucky Two's last experience. When I took him to the vet, he took X-rays and told me he had a couple tumors on his Adrenal Gland. So after a six hundred dollar, 21 stitch operation, he has not grown his hair back nor has he gained much weight. that was over seven months ago. So the best I can offer him now is a little special attention and love, making sure he is well looked out for. Buck is now over five years old and that's an old man in Ferret terms.
Looking at my self, I'm 75, have lost my hair and having the same problem, the Doctor says I have Prostate Cancer... so I'm scheduled for radiation treatments. Thank God I've got good health insurance.

In cases of hair loss, adrenal disease should be the first thing to be ruled out. Hair loss, and a swollen vulva are some of the indicators of such a condition. The following links have info about adrenal disease:
