Even if the right adrenal looked fine after surgery it
may not lok fine now. Pertwee's right adrenal looked
fine when his left was removed. Five weeks later the
right was larger than the left had been. Our vet
explained that the first tumor may have been
suppressing the other gland. Once it was gone...

The vulva should go back to normal. If the left was
completely removed then it could still be the right.
Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear.

The usual disclaimer applies: I am not a vet, nor do
I play one on TV. I'm just a moderately experienced
ferret owner who has seen way too much adrenal
disease.

All the best,
Caity and the super six
