I have a quick question about veterinary expenses. I have a ferret named Olivur who is having some problems. Some of his symptoms match Adrenal disease, but I took him to my vet who wasn't suspicious of it. Just the same, I've had a few people from the FML tell me to keep an eye out, and I wanted to rule it out just in case. Only one problem, I called the vet clinic and they told me that the price billed on an ultrasound for Olivur would be at least $230.00. Is this normal? It seemed rather high to me. I was also wondering if there is any other way that you can be relativly sure that a ferret doesn't have adrenal? I just don't want to put down $230.00 that I would have to scrape for, to find out that he's just upset about the new baby Baloo who can into my home about 2 months ago. I feel trapped between a rock and a hard place. Olivurs symptom that seem to match adrenal include, agression, sleepiness, frequent urination, and excessive iching. Any advice what so ever would help. Thanks Shanna Olivur Satsu, and baby Baloo [Posted in FML issue 3730]
