Hi Everybody, Need a little help here, my oldest ferret is experiencing hair (fur) loss, I did go over the Ferret FAQ, and the description that fit the best was section 9.3, the Orange- speckled crusty patchers, plus the small black heads. His fur is completely gone all over his back, up to the top of his head, but not his tail ( thinned out a bit, but still their ). What I would like to do is try the gentle bactericidal shampoo, the only problem is where do you get shampoo like this, without going to a vet ? The reason I would like to try the shampoo first is because a vet wants to charge 30 bucks just to look at him, then give me the shampoo, if the shampoo doesn't work, then I would take him to the vet for tests etc. But I have looked at alot of different pet stores and can't seem to find any bactericidal shampoo. Any ideas please ? Best Regards, Carl Baewer ( [log in to unmask] ) New London, Wisconsin [Posted in FML issue 1958]
