Ferret prostamegaly and renal cyst

  • chronic adrenal gland disease tx with long acting deslorelin acetate injection
  • presenting for stranguria and dermal mast cell tumor
  • ultrasound shows:  bilateral adrenal gland enlargement, left renal cortical cyst, and presumed prostamegaly

Is prostamegaly a subjective diagnosis or are there any published normal values for neutered ferrets?  Is this prostamegaly?  I am also posting a prostate pic from a clinically normal ferret.  According to posts on VIN, solitary renal cysts are generally considered benign-does the Sonopath forum audience concur

Yes melissa renal cysts are
Yes melissa renal cysts are common in ferrets and I have yet to see them be a problem unless infected. I do not know of any prostatic normals in a ferret but if swollen and you cant see the prostatic urethra owing to overlying prostatic tissue in light clinical signs I think you can says its an issue.
