I have a ferret that has had both adrenal glands removed due to adrenal
tumors, but the right one keeps coming back.  I know that cryosurgery is
an option, but I wanted some advice from other ferret owners who've had
this same dilemma.  My vet says he can do the cryosurgery; but in his
experience, animals with no remaining adrenal glands do not live for very
long, even with the hormone replacement therapy.  I would like to hear
from anyone who has had ferrets on hormone replacement therapy due to
loss of both adrenals.  What has been your experience?  Do they survive
for very long?  I'm just weighing all my options.  I want to do what is
best for my baby.
