Hi all. A few weeks back, I posted about Rocket's hair loss. (he is 3.5 yr old, MF neutered and descented, otherwise healthy and happy) I have been giving him moisturizing baths, conditioners, ferretone, etc and his coat feels SOOOO much better. He is quite the little fluffball now. He has been into the vet and she feels that the hairloss isnt what she normally sees with an adrenal tumor (although several other people have said that what Rocket has IS similar to what their adrenal ferrets have had...) We started daily scrubbing with an antifungal/antibacterial cream in case of some sort of follicle infection. I have also just noticed (under very close inspection) that Rocket's tail has a red waxy deposit on it. According to ferret central, this can also be associated with hair loss. Suggests a shampoo with benzoil peroxide in it. Have any of your ferts experienced this problem? (waxy buildup?) Also, if the hair loss clears up can I assume that it WASNT an adrenal tumor? Or can adrenal hair loss come and go?? Thanks for the continued assistance! Diane [log in to unmask] "I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to" [Posted in FML issue 2145]
