Huh? Three of our ferrets had their right adrenal
glands out. Lupron doesn't cure adrenal disease. If
your vet isn't comfortable removing a right adrenal
tumor I'd look into seeing another vet who is once you
have the cause of the loss of appetite and vomiting
solved. (It could be many things other than
heliobacter.)
FWIW, our Podo had his right adrenal gland out at the
ripe old age of seven and a half. He's still here and
rapidly closing in on 10. Over the last six weeks
he's become very bonded to our latest rescue, a one
year old, I think because she's the one he can most
count on for a good wrestling match ;)
All the best,
