For those of you who asked for an update on my ferret who was showing some signs of possible insulinoma or kidney disease...I got the tests back today for my ferret Guida. She is 7 1/2 years old and has adrenal disease. She has been showing signs of hind end weakness, and had an enlarged kidney when I took her to the vet Saturday. Well, surprise, surprise,all of her tests results have come back normal, except for an elevated white blood cell count. I am going to give her amoxi drops for 2 weeks and then have her retested. Hopefully it is nothing serious, obviously if there is not an improvement after the antibiotics there could very well be. So I am cautiously optimistic. Dr. Weiss said she seems like a good candidate for adrenal surgery, so if all goes well, she should be getting that in the next month or two as well. I really thought this was the end...these little animals are so odd and amazing. I am sure she will be relieved, as I have not left her alone at all in the past few days and moved her cage to my bedroom (which now smells very ferrety) to keep a better eye on her. Does anyone else have a ferret as old as mine who has gone through cryosurgery? If so, I'd like to hear from you. Love & best wishes to the fuzzies! Ann & Guida-rat [Posted in FML issue 2962]
