Hi! I haven't been on here for several years but now I have some questions I need answered. I have a 6 1/2 year old female named Greta who had her left adrenal gland removed when she was 2 1/2 years old. Now she is showing clear signs of adrenal problems again. Her fur is thinning with bald patches on her chest, tail, and between her shoulder blades. Her vulva is swollen with a discharge. She runs around with her nose under the two boys tails and is constantly grooming them and following them everywhere. The vet has her on Lysodren for the past two weeks now. My concern is that her vulva gets crusted over and she has difficulty peeing, so I remove the crust, but I can tell that causes her pain (not to mention when she pees after that!). Is there anything I can put on there that will help? Also, her skin is very flakey with small scabs, probably from scratching. What can I put on her skin to help the dryness and itching? Thanks for any advice. She is an absolute sweetheart of a ferret and I feel bad that she is going thru this. I want to do whatever I can to make her more comfortable.
