Really sorry about your little girl CL, I'm not sure that it has much to do with her being albino as none of those problems are exactly uncommon in russian hybrids generally, it's just very unfortunate she has so much going on, the symptoms of Cushing's & diabetes can sometimes be quite similar in the early stages, do you know what diagnostic tests your vet has done?
I hope she gets over the infection ok & is strong enough to get through surgery, it's always a big worry with such tiny hams so I wish you all the best with her.
