I posted a few weeks ago about advice on my ferret's photo and if he looked
adrenal...

y'all answered in the affirmative, so I went back to my vet and scheduled
the surgery.

FatBoy's surgery was on Monday--it went perfectly, and he's now resting
calmly in a kennel cab next to me...
My vet said that she looked around, found the left adrenal and it was
perfectly healthy, so she looked some more and found the right one--it was
the size of a marble and BLACK.
The pathology just came back: cortical adrenal hyperplasia. No mention of
malignancy anywhere.

Fatboy's hair is ALREADY growing in!
