Hello all, Its been a while since I've posted and now that my ferrets are getting older, I am starting to experience much of what I have read here. I'm hoping I can get some feedback from experienced ferret owners/care-takers regarding your thoughts on treatment of adrenal disease in the right gland near the vena cava. My oldest ferret, Bofa (just turned 6), underwent sugary a little over a month ago for insulinoma. It was quite successful and he's running around like a kit again! However, I've been noticing the classic hair loss associated with adrenal. At first, I thought it could just be due to the lack of hair elsewhere on his body, and that I was just perceivingg it that way. Now that it is well on its way back, I can clearly see where the hair around the tail and now up onto the lower back has thinned. After placing a call to the vet who performed the surgery, I found that the right gland had looked a little swollen, but was left untouched due to its precariouss position. So now the question is, do I follow-up with meds, or seek out a second opinion for sugary? I am not sure since he has just recovered, but then again, perhaps it is better to find an experienced vet who can stop it now before it gets worse! If anyone has any advice, stories, or recommendations, please let me know. I would like to make a decision with as much info as possible! Thanks much!
