HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 7-8 year old albino ferret named China. As you can probably understand she is old. But my main concern is that she has been losing hair on her tail and it has now worked up to the inside of her legs as well as on her stomach. She is still extremely active with a good diet. But I worry that there maybe be something that I am not seeing. My parents say it’s because she is old or may have a disease, but we will never now because we don’t have the money to take her to the vet. I probably wouldn’t be this frantic but I had another ferret growing up with China so she would have a playmate till out if the blue the other ferret (Sparkles) got some sort of tumor or censer, and she ended up dying within a week. This came about without warning or signs of problem. So you can understand my worry.
