Adrenal neoplasia is a common problem in middle-aged to older ferrets. Male ferrets may present for stranguria and dysuria due to prostatic/paraurethral tissue enlargement secondary to elevation in androgens produced by the neoplastic tissue. Progressive urethral compression followed by complete urinary obstruction can result. Urinary obstruction can persist for days following surgery requiring urinary diversion. Four ferrets presenting with signs consistent with urinary obstruction secondary to adrenal disease were immediately treated with urethral catheterization or cystocentesis followed by adrenalectomy and temporary tube cystostomy. The tube cystostomy placement and use were associated with minimal complications and allowed recovery from surgery.
肾上腺肿瘤是中年至老年雪貂的常见问题。雄性雪貂可能因肿瘤组织产生的雄激素升高继发前列腺/尿道旁组织肿大而出现排尿困难和尿痛。进而可能导致尿道逐渐受压，随后出现完全性尿路梗阻。尿路梗阻在手术后可能持续数天，需要进行尿液改道。四只出现与肾上腺疾病继发尿路梗阻相符症状的雪貂立即接受了尿道插管或膀胱穿刺术，随后进行肾上腺切除术和临时管形膀胱造口术。管形膀胱造口术的放置和使用并发症极少，有利于术后恢复。
