Hi Folks

Following a run of fleas which have been treated with Advantage, some
of my ferrets are losing hair (thinning) on the shoulders, back of the
head, and down the back. There is light redness. No scratching of the
area. Any ideas e.g. allergy etc.

Have had a black light passed over some of them for ringworm nothing
showed to indicate this. This has shown on several so I don't think
it is adrenal.

Some are young eg 5 months and a few are up to 3 years old

We have also had hot humid weather in the last few weeks tho this has
since cooled off.

Thanks for any help

Michelle
