Brandy might not have adrenal disease. We went to the vet on Saturday, in Las Vegas, and what a waste. I inquired beforehand, whether this vet had knowledge of adrenal disease, etc. Going there was a complete waste, with the exception of running into a guy who knew a woman that ran a shelter in Las Vegas. I spoke with her and we had a great conversation. She has an albino MF ferret, that her boss a great exotic vet, did exploratory surgery, with neither of the most common diagnosis. In fact, they still don't know what is the cause of the swollen vulva. Good news to report on Brandy, her swelling is going down. We have been trying some alternative meds and they seem to be working. At least for now.. I want to thank everyone that responded. I was really worried. I feel much better, just knowing that there are so many wonderful and caring ferret people out there. Rochelle and the gang [Posted in FML issue 2382]
