Jill is one of our rescue's from last November, we have NO idea of her age or anything. She is losing hair on her tail, I told Bob that is a clear sign of adrenal disease but he says no, that it's shedding time. This does not look like shedding, it looks like something is wrong and no hair there, and I correct in thinking adrenal disease? I am making her a vet appointment, but I'm not sure if our vet is experienced in dealing with disease's in ferrets, as they are now just very popular in my area. I will do anything in this world to help her, to keep her from being in pain, and this is very hard on me. I read all the time about it on this board and never think it will happen to me this soon, well, it is and I am a wreck. If Jill should die un-expectetly, will she know that mommy loves her very, very much? Will she know that we were so glad to have her in our home and apart of our family? Was she happy here with us, and with her brothers and sisters? These are the things on my mind right now. If my vet isn't experienced in this, I will travel, doesn't matter how far, to get her the best treatment as she is worth it, as is all my babies. If any of you know of a good vet in PA who is qualified in adrenal disease please, please, please email me privately with the address and phone number, as it would be greatly appreciated. I dont usually ask for anything from you, my dear friends on fml, but I need to right now. Please, help me get thru this as I am so upset, I do not want my Jill to be in any pain, and I want her to know how very much we love her. I guess what I am asking for is for all of you, my friends, to be here to support me emotionally, as we all do for each other in times of need. I look at her and just cry, she was very abused by her previous owner, burnt her with cigarettes and all, so she has only been here with us for 11 months, and I just pray that she will have forgotten her painful ordeal and come to know this house and the humans here are full of love. I am sorry for being so emotional, I am just so worried about my girl. Please, email me privately at [log in to unmask] with any comments, suggestions, etc. I do appreciate all that each one of you do on this board, and I am so glad I can turn to all of you, knowing you all understand how I feel. Hold your babies tight, and give them all a big kiss for me tonight, cause you just never know when it will be your last hug and kiss with them. May Each of you be greatly blessed with your fuzzie's.
