Subject: [ferrethealth] Hair loss under chin
To: <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>

I noticed a few months ago that Susie Q had a small patch of hair loss under
her chin/on her neck. If she wore a collar, I would have said it was due to
the collar rubbing the fur off.

I didn't think anything of it until I noticed the other day that she now has
a small bald patch on the side of her face, just where her whiskers grow
out. The patch under her chin is also a little larger.

Any ideas what this could be? Do ferrets suffer from diseases like eczema?
The patch under her chin sometimes looks a little red/dry/scaly around the
edges.
