This is Dr. Bob Wagner who is also studying approaches to and
prevention of endocrinological diseases. For example, one project
currently on-going, if funding does not dry up, is a joint venture
with Dr. Mark Finkler is looking into a Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
Vaccine with hope that it might reduce not only rates of adrenal
disease but also rates of insulinoma if one hypothesis holds.

Cardiac disease in pet ferrets is common and includes dilated
cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and acquired valvular disease. Clinical
presentation of cardiac disease in ferrets may be similar to dog or
cats, although hind limb weakness may be a prominent feature.
Radiography, ECG, and ultrasound are all useful tools in the diagnosis
of cardiac disease in ferrets. Therapeutics for cardiac disease in
ferrets is based on recommendations for dogs and cats. The prognosis
for cardiac disease in ferrets varies from fair to guarded, depending
on underlying disease.
