In November I wrote to you and FML about Scooter. Then he was in
the clutches of adrenal disease ...almost total baldness and ,
what I particularly sought advice on from you, his hyper
nervousness.
 
Now ( beginning about four weeks ago ) the symptoms started to
abate. He seems in complete remission now. His white fur grew back
at a furious pace. He's fully covered now. He's no longer the
jumpy, jittery little fellow he used to be.
 
We are aware that we are dealing here with a form of cancer. It
comes and goes and his remission may not last forever.
 
But a FML reader kindly cautioned  us that her ferret died  while
in a similar state of adrenal disease remission. She warned that a
side effect of adrenal disease can upset the chemistry of the
urinary system, causing her ferret to create bladder stones. The
resulting operation was not successful for her little one.
 
>>>Is there a connection here?...I mean between adrenal disease
and urinary tract problems? If so, can we try to thwart it through
a nutritional regimin?<<<
