Elie is going to the vet early Saturday morning, but I just wanted to ask a question for all you ferret folks: With a ferret who has gone bald from adrenal disease, when the fur grows back in, do you see a blue tinge in the areas where a sable wouild have darker fur, i.e. forelegs to shoulder? It looks kindof like the classic blue 'five-o-clock shadow'. Just wondering. Elie is doing great otherwise. He is 7+ years old, has had two surgeries to remove tumors on the adrenal glands and pancreas, and he's been on Proscar (testosterone blocker) for 2 weeks and Prednisone (for insulinoma) for 3 weeks. He's eating like a pig, putting on weight (he was a walking skeleton, just over 1 lb, before the medication), growing back fur where there was no fur before, and even war-dancing from time to time! We're very pleased with his progress. He is a patient of the wonderful Dr. Weiss of Potomac, MD, who I cannot praise enough for his devotion to ferret health and well-being. Regards, Gail Shochet and Elie Wiesel, Pixel, Kiaya, Pepe, and Scully (and of course husband Michael) [Posted in FML issue 2435]
