Hello,
Does adrenal disease show up on x-ray and or ultra sound?
My local vet thinks that this is the best way to diagnose adrenal disease.
Nothing showed up on our current x-ray.
Also, she states there is no blood work available to test adrenal. I'm pretty sure there is.
She says we need to just wait and see and keep an eye on my ferret. I'm not sure I agree with this.
Isn't adrenal also diagnosed by signs and symptoms?
My Chong has thinning hair, is super itchy, has a bald spot the size of a nickel at the base of her tail, is extremly agitated and much more demanding than usual and also her nipples are swollen and red.
To me, sounds like possible adrenal or ovary remanent. She says it might just be stress.
I'm looking into seeing another vet at this time.
