Subject: melatonin for treating adrenal

Hi,
I would be interested to learn some more about melatonin.
If anyone has had experience giving melatonin to ferrets for adrenal disease, how long did it take before you saw results, if any? How long did the results last? Was surgery then not needed? Or does it just postpone surgery? I kinda thought surgery was the only "cure" depending upon of course if the ferret was well enough to withstand surgery.
Any adverse reactions noted?
1 mg daily, 8 hours after sunrise, is this the correct/time dosage?
Thanks
Suzi
