Here's my list of ferret ailments....
 
Nelson (died at the age of 4 yrs.) chocolate MF, male - lymphoma
 
Jasmine (died at the age of 8 yrs.) marked white, MF, female - insulinoma
and adrenal
 
Max - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - had left adrenal, 2 lge. nodules on his
pancreas, 2nd mast cell tumor removed at the age of 5.  Had his first
mast cell tumor removed at the age of 4.
 
Bandit - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - left adrenal tumor removed at the age
of 5
 
Rascal - 6 yrs. sable, MF, male - left adrenal tumor just removed on
Friday 4/5/02.  Right adrenal is small but a funky color, BG was 81.
Now watching him for signs of insulinoma.
 
Willie - 6 yrs. albino, MF, male - healthy to date, no medical problems
except for rat tail every spring.
 
Abby - 4 yrs. sable, MF, female - healthy to date, no medical problems at
all
 
Sydney - 2 1/2 yrs. sterling silver, MF, female - healthy to date, no
medical problems at all.
 
Rascal was one of our original 3 ferrets we adopted in 1999 and the last
of the original 3 to have adrenal surgery.  With all the debate on MF, I
am not going to get in the middle of it, however, I would like to point
out that 5 of our 8 have had problems, we've lost 2 in the last 2 years
and they are all MF ferrets.  Coincidence?  Fluke?  I'm really wondering
at this point.
