Hello all. I'm posting about a subject I've seen posted on the list before, but have never seen any replies (perhaps they were replied to personally or I just scanned the list too fast). Anyway, one of my boys is losing the hair on his tail (as well as getting a small number of blackheads). It's been gradual and isn't affecting other parts of his body. I've read the medical section on this at Ferret Central but it doesn't seem to have any suggestions except to say that this happens sometimes and doesn't mean that my fuzzy isn't healthy. Is there anything I can do to help his hair grown back?
