Do you all remember my post of discovering nipples on Gonzo. Well a very nice lady (I believe it was Julie Fossa or something) told me that she notices this in ferrets with adrenal. Sure enough, I check his tail thoroughly and noticed a very small patch of fur missing the day she sent the e-mail. A couple days later I notice the spot has become larger. So I would like to say thank you for your e-mail and I think you hit it right on the head. Yours was the only response I received and if not for you I would not have caught this so quickly. Thank you so much (I'm sorry if I did not get your name right) On another note. My vet wants to send the test to Tennesee before doing surgery but I don't know if it is worth the $150.00. Currently Gonzo is showing 3 symptoms. About one square centimeter of missing hair on his tail, rubbing his "winger dinger" on the edge of the coffee table, and nipples. Does anyone out there think this is enough to just do the surgery without tests? I also want to know how risky this surgery is (assuming it is on the left gland) My little guy is a 4 pounder and 2 years old if that helps. He has been put under the knife two times already. Once to get an eye removed and another with a false alarm of juvinile lymphoma and he had no problems with the anestesia. What is the prognoses after surgery and how much do meds run you guys? Any help is appreciated. I have an appointment for the vet to look him over and take blood if needed on monday so let me know ASAP.
