Sorry I can't remember the name of the person who asked the question, I already deleted that days newsletter. Someone asked about a ferret loosing hair and having blackheads on his tail. My male ferret has that problem. I e-mailed the CDFA and followed thier suggestion. I gave him a bath as usual and then dipped his tail into a solution of Avon's Skin So Soft and water. They said the problem was ingrown hairs. That was a little over a week ago and he is already growing hair back. Make sure the problem is confined to his tail, though. Hair loss in other places could be a very serious problem. Everyone give a love to their fert monsters for me. I'm praying for the sick and injured ferrets and to the ones who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. S. [Posted in FML issue 2482]
