balding tail on my hob

[ianrob 2]

I don't have a pic but will post one if necessary. I have two albino hobs at the minute, and one of them has a tail that is going bald on one side. There is no inflamation or itching, or indeed any redness. The hob "Jasper" on Sundays, is fighting fit, full of beans and not in the least interested in his tail. Horace and Jasper are out galloping around the garden for at least an hour most days, and have great fun, digging and, well you know what they're like. The tail is just a little unsightly.

 

 

Any ideas?????????

Thanks all, I've had ferrets most of my life and it's the first time I've encountered this "rat tail". Doesn't it just show what a valuable commodity we have here at "The Hunting Life" website. Thanks again to all who replied, for putting my mind at rest.

As for balding tail its normal but if you think its unsightly i know lads who use that cream e45 to rub into greyhounds that have bald patches on their rumps they swear it works.
