In 1993 I do not think there was one report of AD in the UK, there has definitely been an increase since ferrets have become pets and are now being kept indoors and fed kibble. Luckily for our ferrets most are left whole and the ones that are neutered are done at 6 to 8 months of age. I would bet that less than 1% of UK ferrets show signs of AD at this time, if anyone knows different please correct me with the inf.. Chris.
