Hawk17 15 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have got a new little Jill today she is very thin and looks to have lost a lot of hair, so I have soaked her in flea and tick shampoo and she will be getting nice healthy grub from now on. My question is, would it be fleas that could cause the hair to look thin? Quote Link to post
Arry 18,570 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yes mate it could fleas or mites. Have a look at this site. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ferrets-skin-disease I use some thing called "Ferretone" for their skin and coat especially when their changing coats about now.
