He wasn't 100% certain of the diagnosis, but the vet said that he didn't work with ferrets all that often. Gwin has adrenal disease unfortenely, which we had been worried about since he'd recently started losing fur (but not in the usual hair loss pattern for it), we'd hoped it was just a lot of spring shedding. That is complicating any other diagnosis, and we were worried that exploratory surgery would be too much for him right now (and that's not getting into the financial part of that).
The vet also thinks that Gwin is older than we originally thought he was, but I'm going to give the people on Craigslist the benefit of the doubt on that since we're at least Gwin's 4th home and they didn't know much if anything about ferrets.
