Hi,
I've had three ferrets in the past that had both adrenal glands removed at the
same time. But the Vet. didn't know until he opened them up in surgery, that
both needed to be removed. So I didn't think they could tell ahead of time if
one or both needed to be removed. And yes all three were on Med. for the rest
of their life. But the med. here only cost $15.00 and lasts for 3 mos. untill it
was refill time again. I hope this kinda helped.

I have recommended a good friend to my vet, who is ferret-knowledgeable.
Her ferret has been progressively losing fur for approximately a year, and she
has been saving for an adrenalectomy. She took the ferret in, and the vet
informed her that he would be performing a bilateral adrenalectomy
