Rubber products

Answer to Question 2

Alopecia that starts on the rump and progresses down the tail. As the disease progresses, so does the alopecia, to the point where there may not be any hair on the body. Pruritis, erythematosis, and a swollen vulva in the female ferret may also be signs of adrenal gland disease.
