Hi FML 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. A little 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, and mainly on ferrets with
lighter coloursed coats We have also had hot humid weather in the last
few weeks tho this has since cooled off. Ferrets are inside and we have
airconditioning which we used in the hotter humid weather

Thanks for any help
Michelle
