My ferret seems very itchy and is losing some fur. Any ideas?

Answer
Itching and fur loss in ferrets can be indicative of several issues. Common culprits include external parasites like fleas or mites, seasonal shedding, or even allergies. However, more serious conditions such as adrenal disease, which is prevalent in ferrets, can also manifest with skin changes and hair loss. It’s crucial to have a veterinarian properly diagnose the cause, as the treatment varies significantly. Do not attempt home remedies without a diagnosis. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
