<well, onion had an ultrasound and it showed two
ballooned adrenal
glands.
my vet didn't give me much hope. he said that it would
be extrememly
difficult for onion to cope with no glands. we took
yet another tumour
out
of his tummy.>
There are several people on this list whose ferrets
have had both adrenal glands removed and they are
doing just fine (the ferrets, that is!). I understand
that the ferrets have to be medicated for the rest of
their lives, but it seems to me that Sukie just posted
something about their bilateral adrenal girl Ashling,
who is climbing six feet with a TV remote in her
mouth, so obviously it's very possible for a ferret to
have a good life without adrenal glands. Check the
archives for more information.
GOod luck,
Sara
