Subject: bilateral adrenal questions

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 ferrets who have had bilateral adrenal surgery. They have been on
Florinef everyday since the surgery.

My questions are:

1. Does the Florinef give false electrolyte readings? In other words....
2. If some adrenal tissue remains, how will I know, considering the
Florinef keeps them healthy?
3. I'd like to wean them from the Florinef, if enough adrenal tissue
remains, but obviously don't want them to crash... is there a way to do this
w/out endangering their health?

Thanks for any info.

-Y-
