Hi, I just wanted to thank EVERYONE who gave advice and recommendations for my ferret Zippy. On 11/16/00 Zippy was taken to Dr. Lawrenchuk at the Wesland Vet Hospital near Livonia MI. She is wonderful and I will continue to seek treatment at her faciluty for my other ferrets. She successfully removed the right adrenal and 1/2 of the left adrenal. She had also completely unblocked his bladder and inserted a catheter. He awoke from surgery and appeared to be recoverying well, but to my deepest sadness he passed away an hour and a half later due to a ruptured pulminary artery (vein?) He died almost instantly in his sleep. I am heart broken, but at least he is no longer in pain. I have now lost 3 ferrets to adrenal disease. It NEVER gets easier. Thank you all again. You helped us a great deal. FG [Posted in FML issue 3239]
