I am so confused and surprised. Remember my little Gracie-No-Tail in the summer and Gracie-With-Tail in the winter. I'm sure not. Well, for a while I thought it was change of season thing and then I thought Adreanal. Startin about 1 1/2 yrs ago the back of her neck between the shoulders started thinning out. I was sure (and the vet said it was) it was adreanal. I took her to the vet a few weeks ago and this was when almost all her neck fur was gone. Now here's the weird part. I dont know if this is all coincidence or if it worked and I am a little embarrassed to write this, but... my vet (who admits he's not very experienced with ferrets) told me he had a customer who was a beautician and she told him she used this scalp cream for growing hair on her ferrets who had lost some fur and it grew it back. He said he uses it (lol) and it may worth a try. So he gives me ths address of her salon and I go there that very same day. I thought I was crazy doing this. I know its not possible. Sure enough the beautician tells me she has 5 ferrets and she used this Biotin Scalp-Creme, rejuvenating scalp treatment, on some of her ferts and it really worked. So, I decide to spend the $13. for the small tube (besides I can give it to my husband to use on his "hair"). I've been massaging it into her skin about 3 times a week. Now don't laugh everyone, but Gracie grew all her hair back and never lost her tail hair this summer. You can't tell she was ever bald there!!! Is this possible? I have been giving her oral melatonin mixed in her food for the past year or so, so maybe that did it. But it didn't do it last year! I don't know what to believe!! Okay now you can laugh. What do you all think? I don't care if I get ridiculed, cause I will just laugh with the rest of you guys. The only problem is the vet said he felt she was a little swollen but he said just keep going with the oral Melatonin. I've been thinking and I think she really needs implants this year. But I would love all your opinions (and laughs). Thanks for listening. You can email me off line or leave mess. on the FML. Also, how do I convince my hubby to use it? [Posted in FML 6391]
