This is truly an amazing tale... Little Miss Maggie (aka MiMi, Maggie
Malone, Maggie Pants) has had no hair for two years. Okay a few wisps
on her face and legs. Other than that, totally bald. Warm cream rubs
twice a day have been part of her routine for all this time. For a
number of reasons, she is not a surgical candidate, so it has been
medical management for Maggie- Lupron, oral Melatonin, Drenamin, Cream
rubs, and Kisses. MiMi is 7 years old. We had a Melatonin implant put
in 3 weeks ago. The vet was all excited- said she could get her hair
back. I laughed- figured those follicles were dead by now, and secretly,
bald ferrets are really good for kissing:-) BUT...low and behold... her
hair IS coming back in. Her belly, hindquarters, head, shoulders, and
neck all have peach fuzz. Her back is still bald- that may not come
back. I forgot she is a Silver, not a Pink:-) She is very itchy. We
love our Maggie.
