To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

I really don't have any advise because I have no idea but I do want to
send prayers to both you and Pecan... just a thought...I know you
said he had one adrenal removed but could it be possible the vet
couldn't find the other one and Pecan can be having Addison's
symptoms? I had a ferret named Peanut who had a left adrenal removed
and my vet was very worried since he couldn't see the right one that
she go Addison and sure enough a week later she started acting
strange, laying around, not eating or drinking, chills, vomiting,
scratching (but no rash, etc...after rushing her to the emergency vet
they have her a shot of percorten (sp?) and Pred and she came out of
it...but she had to take this for about 6 months ..also I have heard
that a short time after adrenal surgery some ferrets will start to
itch and develope a rash, fever and act really sick because not all
the adrenal was removed.. I read this on the FHL .. I sure hope you
are able to find out what is wrong with Pecan, it is sooooo hard
having a fuzzy that is ill and not knowing how to make them feel
better......please take care and sending tons of cyber hugs and
prayers...

Hugs
Jackie
