Thanks to all who wrote with their stories of adrenal problems with ferrets - it was very helpful in determining what to do about my bald little girl. I should say FORMALLY bald little girl. She's fuzzy again (and OH IS SHE ITCHY!) - and appears to be no worse for wear. I am very glad I declined surgery when my vet was pushing it, there really wasn't anything wrong with the little fuzz bean. Just thought I might share the good news! Thanks again!
