This is sterotypical adrenal disorder. If this were
my ferret, he'd be in for surgery ASAP, and I would
require the vet to remove one of the glands whether he
thought they looked enlarged or not.
As a vet - I would not do this. If tissue is normal, it should not be
removed. If both glands appear grossly normal, it would be better for the ferret to
wait a couple of months and do a second surgery than to arbitrarily remove
one gland, not knowing if the gland you remove is the problem or if the other
one was and you've left the problem in there.
