Subject: Addisons disease(surgically induced)

I have three ferrets that have had both adrenal glands
removed and they all showed symptoms of Addison's disease.
Lethargy and severe loss of appetite. Weekly shots of pred
worked but there had to be a better way of treating them and
our vet put them on Florinef. They get one-hundredth of a mg
daily and they are all doing fine. I don't know if this will
work on all ferrets with both adrenal glands removed but it
has with mine. I am not a vet so check with yours before you
start this medication.
