I am pretty sure the day I dreaded has arrived. Last month, I had a second
opinion done on my ferret, Sneeuw (albino 5 year old) because I was worried
about her and he agreed I was probably going to start seeing adrenal
symptoms soon. She has now lost a patch of hair along her back between
the hind legs and now I can see what a swollen vulva is before. All my
previous worrying can be seen mote in evidence of the actual swelling. I
have read the faq but am confused about some things. How soon should
surgery be done? And during reading I was confused as to if adrenal
actually kills or stuff that follows is what kills? I want what's best for
her. My only concern about surgery is her state. She will not eat solid
food. She is eating science a/d only and occasionally the cereal oh's.
So I am worried she is in a weak state. Before yesterday she was running
as normal and inquisitive. Yesterday she spent a lot of time playing flat
ferret but she ate so I wasn't too worried but today she was quieter and
she only ate once at night. I'm calling my vet for an appointment tomorrow
(well later today - am writing this early (2am est) wed. morning). I just
wanted additional feedback.
Thanks in advance,
Cheryl.
