Hi All,
Glad you made it back Dr. Williams. I have a female ferret that is about 5
or 6 years old, I attached her photo. We tried to have both adrenal glands
removed but one was very involved with the vena cava and all of it was not
removed. About a month after the operation we noticed that her vulva was not
decreasing in size so we started her on a Lupron assuming that what remained
of the adrenal gland was still overproducing harmones and on the forth depot
of 400 mg and the third month of 1 mg of Melatonin her vulva has decreased
in size but she has just started losing hair along her back. The reason I am
writing this note to you is because you mentioned that Melatonin is only
useful for a few months but I thought it blocked certain harmones all year
round. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheryl
