Subject: Adrenal surgery - how long is the usual recovery period?
Hej,
I´m hoping that some people who have been through this loads of times
before, can help. My ferret who´s about 6 years old underwent bilateral
adrenal surgery + insulinoma surgery yesterday. How long before she´s more
herself? She won´t eat self, but will eat a/d from a syringe. She can walk,
but is very weak. She just sleeps alot. What can I expect? She´s improved
from yesterday, there´s more life in her. What will happen if she´s one of
those that doesn´t make it? When do complications usually set in? What is
best to feed her, and how often, and what else should I be doing. Is it best
to give her peace and quiet, even though I´m so worried, or does she need
checking often? Anyone with any advice or tales of their own experience, I
would love to hear from you. If possible, can you send me a private E-mail.
