I have a friend who just adopted 2 ferrets from some friends. They are lovely little guys. Destiny and Blackie. Well, Blackie is losing hair at the base of his tail. Right up there by his bottom. I would say about and inch and a half is completely hairless. He is a very finicky eater. She can only feed him cat food of some sort. She tried ferret food and he got diarrhea from it. Could it be malnutrition like she was told by some "know it all" or does she need to get him in and seen? I searched the archives for her and found only stuff on full body hair loss. Not very computer savvy here. You can send any questions or responses to me and I will forward them to her. She doesnt keep enough space in her box to sign up. I can hardly send her stuff sometimes. lol So I do have permission to post this and to get some answers for her. She and I both say THANK YOU in advance. Shele (Bubba and Oscar say Howdy all!!!)
