Subject: adrenal cryosurgery
The ferret may or may not need medications, depending on if a tiny
bit of adrenal tissue remains. Ashling is on twice a day Florinef
and Prednisone with excellent results.
Yes, Charlie Weiss's video can be learned about at
http://www.ferretdoctor.com and it covers a great deal besides cyrosurgery.
