HCG aka
Human Chorionic Gonadatrophin

is the RX you will need, of which 100 IU needs to be administered
intramuscular.

While this should be effective it is common that 10 days after the
injection it may need to be repeated to trigger the ferret out of estrus.

ALSO as soon as the ferret completes the estrus cycle 42 days or so it
may come right back into season thus the procedure will need to be repeated.

The last time we needed to utilize this therapy each injection ran about
$30 each plus office fees.
