You're thinking of Lysodren. It's used for adrenal disease, but it's
not really great for the type of adrenal problems ferrets have. It
should not be used in ferrets who also have insulinoma because it can
cause severe hypoglycemia.

Thats not right.

Lupron... it's a liquid and I was actually told that it is was
normally used for Adrenal and indicated NOT to use in ferrets with
both Adrenal and Insulinoma because it created problems for the
Insulinoma... which would account for the ferret getting worse.
