Note: when adrenal disease is present surgery is usually te best approach. Adrenal growths in ferrets are not hyper adrenalcorticoism, but hyperestrogenism. (That is one way they differ from other companion Carnivora members.)
Have any of these sore been removed to see if they might be benign mast cell tumors or someting else? (Mast cell tumors being benign virtually always is another way ferrets differ, and they are quite common in ferrets.)
How large are they? Other details? Do they seem to itch?
