Hi,
One of the local research vets here in Pittsburgh was working on a
study over the past two years looking at an implant to reverse the
symptoms of adrenal disease. He'd worked with a lot of the ferrets
at a local shelter. He implanted them, and waited for symptoms to
show up again before doing surgery. The implant seemed to work well
at reversing symptoms. I think it was called Dezmorelen or something
like that.

Is this what you're talking about?
