I am not a vet, and I can't comment on the liver issue, but as I lost a
little boy a few years ago after "successful" adrenal surgery I just wanted
to make some suggestions that your vet may not have made - I wish mine had.
Watch food intake religiously, especially if Trouble is in with other
ferrets. If he's not eating enough, get duck soup, baby food, something into
him- nows not the time to worry about over feeding him, but don't go for the
sugary treat stuff, he needs protein. Keep a bottle of Karo (corn) syrup
next to the cage just in case, as they can have an insulomic episode without
warning. If he does have a seizure, rub the Karo on his gums to give his
sugar a jump start.
Good luck! Our prayers are with you,
Cay, Princess and the boys
