Dawn,
>He called me at work that day to tell me that my ferret has an adrenal
>tumor. It is on the right side, not the left, so its inoperable.
I would suggest giving your ferret a few weeks to recuperate, then getting a
second opinion from another vet. One of our ferrets had a right-side
adrenalectomy at about age 3, made a complete recovery, and lived to be 9
years old with no recurrence of adrenal problems. This surgery is difficult
(our vet looked as if he had been run over by a train when he finished) but
certainly not impossible.
Where do you live? Perhaps someone on the list can recommend a vet who will
be able to do the surgery for you.
Best of luck,
