SuperFreak's update!

Whew. Freak came through surgery ok. Her left adrenal gland was malformed and there were lots of lumps on it. According to the vet, she looks really good in there - now that it's gone. Also, there were no signs of leftover ovarian tissue or uterus from her spay, which was something that I was concerned about since the first vet said that if even a small portion of ovarian tissue, or a part of the uterus, had dropped inside during her spay that she could still experience estrus. Her surgeon, Dr. Chris, sent her adrenal gland out for a biopsy to see if it was malignant or not, but the results won't be back in for about a week; however, since this was a total removal, even if the gland is malignant, she has a very good chance! That's GREAT NEWS!

Freak has stainless steel sutures and she will be spending the night at the vet's just to make sure everything is ok. If all goes well, I can pick her up tomorrow morning after 9:00. Of course, she will need to be kept away from my other ferrets for awhile, and her stitches can be removed in about 10 days. One of her meds is Buprenex, but I can't remember the others. So far, my little girl is doing great!
