My ferret, Chuckie, was diagnosed with the adrenal disease last December.
She's lost some fur in places, but it often grows back in time.  She was
projected to live six months without surgery, but she's surpassed that and
other than her hair loss and englarged vulva, she seems to be one happy and
active fert.  Is it possible for a ferret to have the disease and not die
from it?  My family has debated on whether or not to put her through
surgery since she is getting up in years and our money is really tight.
She seems fine though.
