Cause for concern?

My ferret is a 2 year old albino, neutered and descented. While giving him his bath today, I noticed a number of things that I don't know if I should be worried about or not. 1. I noticed slight hair loss on his back, between his shoulderblades, which I don't know if it's normal hair loss with the season change, or something more serious 2. I found a deer tick embedded in his skin, which judging by the engorgement (or lack thereof) hadn't been there for more than a couple days. Are ferrets susceptible to lyme disease? I remember reading somewhere that lyme disease has a specific body temperature that it likes. Could ferrets' body temperature be too high for it? Thanks in advance for the help!
