Subject: Adrenal Disease

A question for ferret veterinarians:

I get the impression from Dr. Bruce William's writings on
FerretCentral that he recommends surgery for ferrets that show
any symptoms of adrenal disease (patterned hair loss, agression,
and vulvar swelling). Does this mean pre-op ultra-sounds and extra
blood work is not necessary?

Also, can anyone recommend an experienced ferret surgeon in the NW
Ohio or SE Michigan region? Two or our three ferrets are showing
symptoms of adrenal disease.

Thank you,
Charissa
