An abstract was published on this finding at a well-known exotics conference, but it has not been reported in the medical literature, and I am unaware of any similar studies to back this up.

Stay tuned, but let's not jump on it yet. Surgery is still the best way to treat adrenal disease in ferrets.

With kindest regards,

Bruce Williams, DVM
