have a 1 year old male ferret who suddenly developed a spot on his side, now even the very ferret knowledgable vets are stumped I need your input, He isn't losing hair but He has a thumb sized circular orange patch of skin it's also got little red dots in the thumb sized circular patch, a skin scrape reveals NO Pests. The base of his hair is also colored orange as is the circular spot of skin. so then; I was wondering have any of you run into this type of thing before? My guy is only 1 years old and My ferrets get clean bedding every saturday. I have a ton of bedding so they don't even have to wait for the wash. He isn't allergic to anything that I know of life was absolutely normal, no changes then this spot showed up. My ferrets are always up to date on their shots they even have their own bank account for vet expenses [Posted in FML issue 4271]
