I tried to take another picture last night but the camera had a mind of its=
own and we will try again today. Kira will be going to the vet tomorrow m=
orning. The vet I talked to said she had done adrenal surgery on her own f=
erret, but is not rather fond of that type of surgery and would send me to =
a vet in Nashville if Kira requires the surgery. She recommended treating =
with Lupron, and said the cheapest she's ever gotten it was for $200, and t=
he shot last about four months. She said she'll know more after she sees he=
r, and that ultimately the decision is up to me. She seemed surprised that=
I knew about the Tennessee Panel and the use of a neck stick to get blood,=
and other things, and I told her how I researched everything when we first=
got the babies and how there is a wonderful group of caring, loving ferret=
owners that I know and could not do without. Thank you Sukie and Caitlyn =
for listing the symptoms. The only one Kira has that I've seen is the swol=
len vulva, though she does seem to be a little heaver at the rear. I will =
post a new picture sometime tonight and let you all know what happens tomor=
row at the vet. =
