Subject: Adrenal Itch and Pneumonia

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there was any new information
out there regarding the adrenal itch that ferrets get.
My little one is beyond the hope of doing surgery and
Lupron is NOT working (after at least 6 months) even
at maximum doses (ie 600 ug). Does anyone have any
suggestions. I am not sure of the mechanism of the
itching process but I am aware that topical
ointments/cremes/conditioners are not very helpful. I
have tried many. I am interested if any medications
have been helpful? He is red all over from scratching
and is very sensitive to being touched.

Pneumonia- The same ferret has very deep pneumonia and
we have tried 3 different antibiotics without much
relief from it though. Any suggestions on treating a
very resistant type of pneumonia?

Thanks,
Terri
