Hi ferrets 985,
The vulva should return to normal size in 1-2 weeks
after surgery. Since it has been roughly 2 months,
it is likely that the right gland is still overproducing hormones.
Thus it is time for surgery to remove the right gland or time to start
her on Lupron to control the signs. With a big vulva there is more of
a risk of estrogen induced anemia, so I would recommend surgery
or high dose Lupron. Yes, melatonin can be used with the Lupron
to help the fur grow back.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
