Dear Jennifer - Just got a catalog from Henry Schein and you can get the liquid form out of there. I like Schein - as I can do my ordering online.

With kindest regards,

Bruce Williams, DVM

I had brought my albino of unkown age/history to have her tested for adrenal. As I understand it should have been a test called the Tennessee Panel. What I have is a cortisol test. My vet is not a ferret expert, but does know something about them. He has some ferret clients, just unsure of how many...and not enough to be really good. He is a very good vet in many respects, though, and is willing to hear good advice from those who know what they're talking about...with ferrets...I do not know much.

I don't understand the readings of the test and the vet has been out on farm calls or in surgery when I have tried to find out. She was tested as a male canine (not sure if this makes a big difference). The abnormal result came back as reading <0.2 L ug/dl.

The vet did leave a message that it was not adrenal by what the cortisol test had revealed, but something else was going on. I am supposed to bring her in for the day and he would feed her and take the test again about an hour after feeding. Does this makes sense to anyone?

Thank you in advance.

Veronica
