Adrenal Gland Disease, Ferrets - contd.
Uncomplicated cases with surgical removal of the adrenal gland usually carry an excellent prognosis. If the ferret is not treated for this disease, the lasting problems may only be cosmetic, such as hair loss and an enlarged vulva. Serious health concerns that can arise due to untreated adrenal gland disease include urinary blockage in male ferrets, which is rare, and anemia, which is even less common.
