Dr. Williams, et at? This is for my friend Carolyn who's not yet on the net.. We're wondering if anyone else has has had a similar experience.. She has a 4 yr. old neutered male, sable, who was a shelter ferret (domestic), and she has had him about 2 years. He is now losing along the long side of his tail, most of the hair. "About like someone ran a shaver along the side of his tail". Just in the last month he is agressively mounting and trying to mate with spayed females, hanging on their neck, etc. He also is trying to mate with neutered males!?? Since this just has been since the last month or so, what are we looking at? Thankfully, Gary H. [Posted in FML issue 1270]
