This is one of the vets in particular that we didn't want to feel slighted
by our praise for Dr. Kawasaki.  Highly recommended as well.  The greater
Washington DC area is blessed with both of these vets and others that
really know their ferrets.
 
From NY despite MD seeming closer, you have a somewhat similar amount of
around DC travel time.  Deciding between these two vets is fortunately not
about either being a 'bad' vet or not being a nice guy.  Some folks like Dr
K better some like Dr W better.  We just happened to live minutes away from
Dr K so it sort of made choosing between them really easy.
 
We normally (though our experiences with adrenals are minimal) took ferrets
home the day after surgery.

Your vet might well be right.  But you also describe what we have been told
was a mast cell tumor.  They are usually benign I believe.
