To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Typical signs of her trying to tell you something is wrong. The dry
brittle coat could point to adrenal disease. You might talk to your
vet about trying a melatonin implant. This could help with some of
the signs but I do think she should be seen even have a blood glucose
checked. Good Luck to you.
