A brief question to veteran ferret owners: anything out of the ordinary for portions of the coat to change color...i.e. from black frosted to white? My eight month old boy, Eddie, is experiencing this. A spot just behind the ears, and between the shoulder blades, which once was the same color as the rest of him (black with white underneath) is now turning white. No hair loss, just the change in color. In addition, some of his white underbelly hair is turning yellowish. Odd? Oh well, since I'm posting: I got a chair from outside (left for trash--but nice) and brought it into my apartment. Eddie has played on it a few times, and I have sprayed it with Lysol twice to kill any unwanted guests. However, ever since I brought the chair in he's itching quite a bit more than usual. No visual evidence of fleas, but should I be worried? Is there a flea dip for ferrets? Email me privately if you've got anything helpful! Thanks to all. --michael and eddie [Posted in FML issue 1957]
