To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Hi,

My female ferret Poppy is 12 months old and in excellent health, Shes not been neutered yet but shes active and bright eyed, no ear mites, no cold, shes eating and drinking fine and her bowel movements are fine so is the urine but shes losing her fur. It started on the back of her neck and under her chin but now its spreading along her back. Its fallen out in patches and the skin is completely bald. At first i thought it just because she was moulting but this hasn't happened to my other 2 ferrets. All 3 live in the house, their bedding is changed daily and their bed is kept clean so im totally bemused by whats happening. I have kept ferrets before but never seen anything like this. She seems happy and healthy and still very playful so i cant understand why this is happening. I would really appreciate any help or suggestions on what it could be. My vet cant see her till Monday and because shes eating and drinking shes not a priority.


Thanks,
Kay
