> Dr. Karen, can you tell me when you usually 1st notice a change in the ferret after the shot of Percorten? Mine had it ~35 hours ago, and still no sign of eating. We are going to run another blood

Post-op, you may have to force feed for weeks. That has little to
do with the medication, and more to do with the ferret. Just keep
stuffing duck soup or baby food into that fuzzy. What you do notice
is increased energy and playfulness, usually within 24-48 hrs.

Hope this helps,
-Dr. Karen
