I would do a full blood panel on her first to make sure there are no
underlying problems...but if she is otherwise healthy, I personally see no
problem with doing adrenal surgery....We have had successful surgeries done
on ferrets as old as almost nine. Lany will be so much more comfortable after
the surgery. I think it would be a very good thing.
