Hi, Donna,
I am not a vet, but I've been through eight adrenal surgeries with our
ferts, and two of our ferrets had both glands out.
When the right adrenal gland was taken, how did the vet remove it, or
was it just debulked? If the gland is not taken in its entirety the
tumor (and the associated disease) might still be there.
Also, hair growing back sometimes takes a long time. With Pertwee it
didn't start happening until the next coat change, so we are talking
months. Romana's vulva took about three months to go back to normal
after her one and only adrenal surgery. I think two weeks is too short
a time to know if there is still any problem.
All the best,
Caity and the notorious nine
