Have you had her checked for Adrenal Issues?? You can have a blood test done to see if her hormone levels are elevated. Not all ferrets experience the usual signs of hair and weight loss. So before you make the decision to give her away, have her checked by your vet for elevated hormone levels which would indicate adrenal. Once she has her surgery, she will be fine again. Since the problem just came on 5-6 month ago and it was not a issue for 2 years, there is an underlying problem which should not warrant you giving her up. Just a suggestion..........
