We posted on Oct 15th....Simon had just been diagnosed with
adrenal disease and our vet had prescribed Anipryl. You all
were kind enough to let me know that Anipryl does not work in
ferrets and I was able to send it back. We read scores of
articles on Mike's miamiferret site--Thank you!-- trying to
decide which route to take with Simon (he's almost 6), and in
the interim put him on melatonin. We were really astounded
that in just about 2 weeks he was growing his fur back! Now
he looks like a baby ferret, all furred out and beautiful!
We've also been trying to stay with the natural light
cycle.....sometimes it's a bit hard, and do the best we can.
Also, we try to give the melatonin at 2 every afternoon, but
because of our schedules sometimes we are a little earlier or
later. I don't know how to avoid that and hope it's not
critical. I guess my question is.....now what?
