To Pete and Amy:
 
        Here are a couple of references that are recent and that you should
check out:
 
        Lawrence HJ et al.  Unilateral adrenalectomy as a treatment for
adrenocortical tumors in ferrets:  Five cases (1990-1992).  JAVMA 203(2): pp
267-270, 15 July 1993.
 
        Rosenthal KL et al.  Hyperadrenocorticism associated with adrenocortical
tumor or nodular hyperplasia of the adrenal gland in ferrets:  50 cases
(1987-1991).  JAVMA 203(2):pp. 271-275, 15 July 1993.
-
        Marini, RP et al.  Functional islet cell tumor in six ferrets.  JAVMA
202(3):430-434, 1 February 1993.
 
 
        These are some good references on the two most common neoplasms in the
ferret.  More to follow as time permits..
