Calvin had the same problem after adrenal surgery. He had all of his left and
most of his right. Vet said some ferrets can take up to 30 days to bounce
back, especially after both glands are taken. Our vet said Calvin's decreased
energy was due to high level of hormones instead of lack of hormones. She
opted to give him a Lupron shot. I questioned it at the time, and still don't
know if it was right, but he definitely has more energy. Not like before
surgery but he'll actually stay up to play now.
