This past monday (1/24), Dr. Weiss did cryosurgery on my Snowflake.  She's
doing wonderfully.  She has adreanal disease and insulinoma.  The adrenal
disease was bilateral and she had 4 tumors on the pancreas (all on the same
side).  She came through the surgery with flying colors and was eating on
her own the next day.  Dr. Weis was fantastic.  I recommend him highly!!
I'm 5 hrs.  away from him, but it was worth the drive.  Unfortunately, the
day we went down is the night they had the big snow storm, so it took us
almost 8 hrs.  to get back.  Snowflake is still eating on her own, but
really only wants to eat her chicken jerky treats < which have no sugar in
them :-) >  I'm going to mix up some a/d food with chicken baby food and
water to supplement her... she is eating the kibble but not as much as I'd
like her too.  You know, the bad thing is I don't know how much she, or
any of the other ferrets eat in a normal day.....guess I should have paid
attention, but they all eat out of the same bowls so its hard to judge.  I
just think she should be eating more.  So, thats the update on Snowflake's
surgery, and if anyone is thinking about adrenal surgey.....go to Dr.
Weiss.... he's so caring and compassionate.
