I have been owned by ferrets for over 9 years and have taken 3 of them for adrenal surgery. All 3 did very well and lived for 1-2 years or more afterwards. A veterinarian friend of mine showed me a research study that demonstrated that ferrets live longer after adrenalectomy than with medication. I will be thinking of you and wishing Fria good ferret luck! Stephen Cox Scooter, Simone, and Sabrina (almost 9 year old female who had adrenal surgery a year ago!) [Posted in FML issue 4600]
