I am faced with my first adrenal problem. I've been researching on my own, but I would also like the list's opinions. It is my understanding that it is better to do surgery to remove the offending tumor(s) as soon as possible. My vet suggests Lysodren instead of surgery. If you think she is wrong, help me convince her. If I am wrong, please, convince me. I like this vet because I have been able to communicate with her in the past. I don't think she is extremely ferret knowledgeable, but she is the best I have been able to find and I am confident that she will do what is best for my ferret if she is presented with useful information. If she has done any adrenal surgeries, I am not aware of them. She has done a successful exploratory on one of my other ferrets though. I don't think she will attempt any surgery if she isn't confident in her ability to do it correctly. Thanks for your input, Britta Williams FYI: I live in Louisville KY. That's Northern KY/Southern IN area. If anyone has a GREAT ferret vet nearby, please let me know. [Posted in FML issue 2835]
