I was in the pet store at the mall, and noticed they had a male ferret for sale. I of course asked to see it. He is a big sable intact male, very friendly. However, he has absolutely no hair on his tail at all- it is completely bald! The woman working said that this was becasue he is intact, that his urine is so strong that it burned the hair off. This doesn't sound right to me unless he rubbed his entire tail in urine, top, sides and even right at the base. Also, he has little scab-like rashes in places on his body and the fur is a little thin there. Is the urine really burning the hair off his tail? Or does he have a disease? Thanks in advance. -Lita @-->-->-- Charlie and Chantal [Posted in FML issue 2383]
