I remember a number of 33% being quoted, saying if
I had 10 ferrets, expect 3 of them to get adrenal tumors.
Also, Dr Weiss specializes in adrenal tumors- cryosurgery
and such, so he has people come from all over to him
just for the adrenal surgery, which skews the numbers.
I drove hours to see him, but bring my ferret with insulinoma
and other problems to my local vet. Also, the next day he
had someone flying in from Japan with a ferret for
adrenal surgery.
Not sure if the numbers are the same in Canada, or in areas
where they do late spay/neutering.
