I know that this subject has been covered on the list in the past, but I have looked at the volumes I have kept and I can't find any of the earlier messages on tail hair-loss. Although she is an otherwise healthy ferret, Scout's tail is beginning to look like a possum's. Is there anything that can be sone about it? Is it indicative of some other, more serious health problem? Or is it possible that it is seasonal and I can look forward to a bushy tail when the weather again gets cold? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim and Scout [Posted in FML issue 2046]
