Someone else has already said it: Lose this guy!
 
Out first ferret, Duckie, had been dumped by her owners and somehow ended
up with us.  This was back in '94 and there were very few "knowledgeable"
ferret vets in my area.  When she started losing fur we called a local
vet that said he knew all about ferrets.  To make a long story short he
diagnosed the hair loss as allergies to about everything on earth.  And
we believed him ... because he was a VET!!!
 
Needless to say by the time we found out what was wrong with our baby it
was to late and we had to help her cross to the Rainbow Bridge.
 
So PLEASE!!!!  If you don't think your vet is knowledgeable, or if
you just really don't like him, DUMP HIM NOW (you don't owe him an
explanation)and find your babies a vet that knows what he is talking
about!!!  Don't let one of your kids end up like my little Duckie.
