Dixon, I had a ferret with adrenal disease. Unfortunately, when she was operated on the vet could not find her adrenal and ended up nicking her kidney in the process. Emergency surgery was necessary to save her life and she lost a kidney. She continued to loss fur and her vulva stayed swollen. Suddenly about a year ago she started to grow hair again and the swelling in her vulva decreased dramatically. She regained her energy and became her old playful self again. It was good having her back. I'm sorry to say that her remaining kidney failed in Aug. and I had to have her put to sleep. But, yes remission is possible. Mine was the first I had ever heard of so I suppose it is possible but rare. Cindy [Posted in FML issue 1058]
