My 2 1/2 silver mitt, Sushi, also has a bald spot. On her left rear leg. The vet thought it was from fleas, even though there are no evident signs of fleas. He said a few occasional bites could still be enough to cause this. So he gave me a cream called Dermagen ointment which is described as a Nystatin-Neomycin Sulfate-Thiostrepton-Triamcinolone Acetonide ointment (whatever that all means) with instructions to use twice daily for a week as needed. I wondered if anyone else had experience with this cream and bald spots? I'm most worried about them(the two ferrets) licking it off each other. The cream was also prescribed for my 3 year old albino, Sneeuw, who has a black spot/crust under her left front leg (kinda in the armpit section). It looks like a blood blister almost. The vet had no real answer for what it was. Anyone with ideas? Thanks for any help. Love those fuzzies : - ) In an aside, I was taking a women's psych. course and we were discussing birthing. It was mentioned that during labour a women secretes a something (can't remember if it was a hormone or something in the brain) that affects memory; it's purpose being (supposedly) to let a women remember she experienced pain but not to what degree(now I've never had a child so I can't say but this is what we were discussing). Now, how I relate this to ferrets is that ferrets must also secrete something when they are causing mischief. Something that makes you forget how annoyed you were and turn it into "but they're so cute they did not mean to be mischievous". So be warned your ferret could be altering your memory leaving you with only cute memories.
