Recently I noticed our almost 1 yr old male ferret's tail was not as full as when we first got him ( in December ). I dug through the FAQ and discovered that adrenal disease is the cause of hair loss that spreads from base of tail forward, and our ferret's hair loss seems to be tail only. His tail isn't bald, just skinny and when I gently tug, a few hairs will come out easily. Does anyone have any opinions about this? This little boy is the sweetest little lap ferret you could imagine and we love him dearly. Laura [Posted in FML issue 1837]
