>I've only had my kids about six months, and I was wondering why when a Vet Well, that's because not every ferret will develop adrenal tumors in both glands - in fact, only about 15% do, if I'm remembering my percentages correctly. The other ferrets do very well with one gland. If both glands do develop problems, then the ferret can do very well on medication after removal, but why do that if you don't need to? It's a commonly asked question, and I do know of some of my colleagues that will remove a normal gland, but I don't.
