I'm posting for a coworker who admits she doesn't know a lot about ferrets,
but somehow came to own one sometime within the last year.  She thinks her
ferret is about three years old, and he has lost his hair.  It was a
gradual loss, starting at his shoulders.  Some hair is growing back on his
legs.  The vet, who admits to not seeing many ferrets, says it's an
endocrine gland, says it's common in ferrets, and that you have to leave
one.  Does this make sense?  What else could it be?
 
Any help w/be appreciated.
