SuperFreak's Adrenal Gland Disease is back

... and I am all torn up about this, and I don't know what I can do at this point.

Yesterday, I spent the day going over financials, and John and I were playing with our ferrets, Morrigan, Mab, and SuperFreak... well, SuperFreak was diagnosed with Adrenal Gland Disease August of last year.... they removed her left gland and sent it off for testing, and thank God, it was NOT malignant, just massively enlarged and grossly misshapen.

Back then, I was advised that there was a possibility that the other gland could also be affected... sadly, yesterday, I noticed that little Freaky's vulva was swollen once again. I am so depressed. She had the best of care with my vet, and she had been doing so wonderfully. She hadn't lost much hair, and what she did lose came back even fuller (but darker) than she had before.

She looks like the picture of health -- except for the tell-tale sign of her swollen vulva, which means that the Adrenal Gland Disease has her right gland now. Her weight is up, and she is just as spunky and lively as she ever was. I love my girl!

The surgery we had performed was very costly, and this time, I just can't do it... the finances are gone, completely, and with our new baby coming (maybe next week), my hands are tied and my options few. I just don't know what to do... she is not in any pain at this time, but God help me, I feel so powerless, and I just don't know what to do at this point.

She loves me, and I love her, and she has her buds to keep her company... my first thought was to find a ferret rescuer (and I know of one here in Ohio, HOFA, but this is her home, and I don't want her stressed even more by moving her to a new home... when these could be her last days...

With the new baby coming.... I just don't know what to do or where to turn right now... all I can think to do is to give her as much loving (and "freakin'") and as many treats as I can... she is my super hyperactive little love-child....

I hate this... I just don't know what to do....

What ideas could you share with me? I only want the best for my girl, but right now, I know that I don't have anymore options for another surgery.

Share your thoughts with me?
