I am usually just lurking, but I wanted to share my happiness over one of my babies (We have 24). She was losing hair but showed no other signs of adrenal. We suspected it but the vet was reluctant to draw blood without any other signs. We insisted and it came back positive. To make a long story short, she had surgery Friday and is doing great. First I want to encourage everyone to trust your instincts. You know your fur kids best and they depend on you to be their advocate. Second, our vet, Capitol Area in Harrisburg, is great. They trusted our instincts, called every few days to keep us updated on lab work and scheduled surgery promptly. One vet, who had retired, is an expert on ferrets and came in specifically to do the surgery with the senior vet. We are happy to drive the 45 minutes to one hour to get to their office. I have friends with two ferrets who are moving to Florida. Does anyone have e-mail addresses of people she can contact for logistics on caring for her little ones? We are in PA and have much cooler weather up here. Thanks. Sandra [Posted in FML issue 3244]
