Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] steroid use in ferrets
I've never heard of "stealth" adrenal disease (which means nothing, of
course, since I'm not a vet) unless he used that term to mean that it was
undetected rather than as a type of adrenal disease. This sounds like
Cushings, but I thought ferrets don't get that, or at least, very rarely.
