How she would handle surgery depends on how healthy she is. If she is
not a surgical candidate, you could give her a shot of Lupron once every
4 months. If you want data on Lupron and adrenal gland disease, go to
http://www.miamiferret.org and read up on it in the ferret health area.
You don't have to just let her die from it.
