You might want to take this info with you too (not all vets are aware
of the test)....
Adrenal Panel for Ferrets - Test for adrenocortical disease in ferrets.
Collect baseline serum sample (0.5 ml). Centrifuge samples as soon as
possible, separate and freeze.
Ship frozen samples preferably in styrofoam container, next day
delivery, on Monday - Thursday with 1-2 cool-packs (add insulating
materials [peanuts; paper], and seal styrofoam seams with tape).
The following hormones will be assayed: Estradiol, Androstenedione and
17-hydroxyprogesterone. The assay is run each week.
