over 90% (Almost all) of our ferrets DO get adrenal disease.

Hi Vicki,
I currently have 6 ferrets and at this point ranging from 3 years of
age to 5 years of age and currently, I have only had one diagnosed
with Adrenal Disease, but I must also add that you are right. Most
ferrets do get Adrenal Disease and its usually just a matter of time.
2 of my females were a year old before they were fixed, so I am not
certain if that is why both have seemed to avoid this issue. I
currently deal with an Animal Hospital, rather then a vet, and they
are continuously duing studies on ferrets in reference to the Adrenal
Disease and he has made it quite clear that its a high percentage
that do get the disease. I hope that helps.
