Subject: [ferrethealth] What do do as far as surgery with enlarged prostate?
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

I ready somewhere in the archives that for this, surgery has better
results than Lupron/propecia/casodex/melatonin.

I was not sure if this meant surgery as in Adrenal surgery, or
specifically a prostate surgery, which I am interested in for ferrets
who already had adrenal surgery and are having issues with their
prostates. I further read that it is recommended to find a surgeon who
is good with adrenals and knows how to fix the prostate.

Can anyone shed some light onto how to "fix" the prostate? Last I heard
it is exremely difficult to get into that area of the body to drain
cysts and look at the prostate in general (not from my current vet, but
from a college vet I didn't actually use in Michigan).

Thanks so much,

xxxxxxx

I assume with omentalization that the fluid drains into the omentum.

The FHL Archives are an easily used, well designed treasure chest!
