What dose and formulation of Lupron are you currently using?  You may
need to consider increasing the dose.
 
I would recommend the ferret adrenal hormone panel so you can determine
if adrenal sex steroids are contributing to the problem.  A bilateral
adrenalectomy does not necessarily eliminate all functional adrenal
tissue in ferrets.  They are known to sometimes have ectopic adrenal
tissue.  Additionally, perhaps some functional adrenal tissue remained
after the right-sided adrenal cryosurgery.
 
Evaluating the urogential tract and especially the prostare gland
using ultrasound and/or additional imaging studies would be helpful in
determining if there are cystic changes to the prostate or other such
abnormalities causing urinary difficulty/dribbling.  Depending on what
is found, there may be some other surgical or medical options available.
 
Good luck.
