Hello

I'm back with my 2nd ferret this year showing signs of adrenal tumor.

This one hasn't been officially diagnosed but will be taking to the vet this week. She turned 8 yrs old in April. Had adrenal surgery when she was 2 years old.

Mokey is her name and she is eating well. I've been giving her baby food and calorie paste in addition to her normal food. She has no hair on her back, little hair on top of her head and her vulva is normal. Pretty good health for a oldster.

Any opinions about letting the vet open her up? Have you had an older ferret that survived surgery?

Thanks
