Any chance he doesn't need it? I am sure this is wishful

Neither of my bilateral adrenals are on Prednisone. I'm not a vet
so I'm not certain of the benefits of using Prednisone so long after
adrenal surgery. Sorry I can't help you with that other than to say
mine aren't on it.

If his levels are low, those shots are certainly needed. Another
option is the daily Florinef. Does your ferret like bubble gum
flavor? My vet mixes the Florinef w/bubble gum flavoring and even
my most finicky one loves it. It took her a few tries but now she
begs for it. Could your vet do the same w/the Prednisone? I
believe there are all kinds of flavorings for mixing meds but not
positive.

Best wishes,
