I live in the UK my 5 1/2 year old ferret has just tested positive for adrenal disease with the U of T panel.

We intend to get our vet to operate in january he takes a great interest in ferrets and has done one ferret adrenal surgery its not a common operation in the UK so i am lucky this vet came to my vets this year

I read a post stating a drug can be given if the remaining gland does not work straight away but i can not find the post

Any other advice with surgery will be grateful considering the experience you have in the USA, so i can ask the right questions prior to surgery.

Thanks
