We had a call from our shelter vet today concerning our ferret with one
adrenal gland and blood tests indicating that the other may also be tumorous.
 He suggested a new treatment that is still apparently somewhat experimental.
 
The drug is Lysodren.  It is given as a water suspension of 40 mg per 0.5 ml.
Dosage is 0.5 ml per day for 7 days; then 0.5 ml twice a week.  If you have
a ferret with a bilateral adrenal tumor, or one who is a non-candidate for
surgery, this may be an alternative.  You might want to check with your vet.
 
Usual disclaimers.  I am not a vet nor am I trained in vet medicine.  Please
consider this only as something to discuss with your vet.
