Hey folks -
My 2.5 yr-old male MF ferret Pogo has thinning hair on his tail, which
appears to have gotten a little thinner over the past 5-6 days. This was
first noticed at the posterior part of his tail - you could see its tip
clearly through the surrounding hairs. I know that if it starts at the base
of his tail its an indication of an adrenal tumor, and I also know this is
the start of shedding season. Is this an indication of any- thing I should
know about? Worth a vet trip? Or just a coat shed?
Behavior is normal in all respects; no lethargy, and apetite appears to be
fine.
Thanks for the help.
Best - Mason, Slinky, Pogo, and Leila the cat (who wonders what good that
little tail is anyways, so why worry?)
