I'm a first timer here on the newsletter, and have been reading for the past week or so... i felt it time to add a question of my own... my ferret "Mookie" was a gift to me by my exgirlfriend last year. He lives alone with me in my attic apartment, along with my computer... the three of us get along fine... last year he started this skin patch... where hair had fallen out, and i thought first it was a shedding thing.. then I noticed him scratching it alot... but hair grew over it withing a couple weeks and I was releived... now again he's accumulated the same spot, but it's been almost a month now... what gives? Is this regular. like some cycle or something?? HELP!! [Posted in FML issue 1294]
