There are always some risks.

In the archives you will find tips for reducing such risks like using iso o=
r a similar gas so that the ferret can be brought out from under rapidly if=
that is needed, keeping the ferret warm enough (in safe ways), and so on.

If you look in the archives you also will find assorted people's tips for p=
ost surgical care. Things like not letting ferrets climb afterwards help r=
educe death rates.

If both adrenals are removed or one if atrophied (as happened with one in o=
ur family) don't forget that Pred and Percorten, or Pred and Florinef will =
often be needed.

I'm sure that others will have more info for you. I apologize but I am sho=
