Subject: Re: repost on bilateral adrenal

This post is being replied to using the 'Reply" function on the site
to see if that is working and I also tested the search engine.

For Addison's and for bilateral these are the most recent posts it
found:

10269, 10244, 11647, 11637, 11636, 11580, 11455, 11442,
11276, 11255, 10849, 10848, 10791, 10696

I have not checked them to see which fit the questions asked, but you can see how the search function can be helpful.

I did not check back further by hitting "next" .

Post # 11639 (in which I discussed the excellent results we
have had when treating with florinef and prednisone) which
replied to the first posting of these questions on bilateral
adrenals but did not appear in these searches, so try MULTIPLE
RELATED WORDS WHEN USING THE SEARCH ENGINE to be safest -- in this case alternative spelliing so Addison's (one with and one without the apostrophy found the rest.

One last note: what two things seem to make the
biggest differences between a ferret being miserable after
bilaterals and being strong are:

1. suiting the med to the ferret (past posts that should be able to
be found with the search engine if multiple tries are made) have
discussed soem of the assorted medicines used.

2. testing, testing, testing since the meds may need adjusting, even over time.
