As with Sukie's Scooter, prostate problems were my ferret Cully's only
symptom of his adrenal disease (well, I suppose there could have been
increased aggression, but as he'd always been an aggressive ferret it's hard
to say). With Cully I could see that he was really in distress as he tried
to urinate. Not only is it painful, but it can have major consequences if
left untreated. Happily, Cully's prostate went back to normal very soon
after the surgery--I hope things go smoothly for you as well :)
