To Shelly Nice concerning Vanilla's swollen "bottom":
If her vulva is swollen, and your vet doesn't recognize it for what it
is, maybe you should find another vet. An ultrasound is nice and hi-tech, and
may show that the adrenal is enlarged, but how much experience do they have with
ferrets?
I would suggest finding a vet who does more ferret work.
