I guess it didn't send just deleted. I said before I usu do surgery and just
learning about the meds. The dowm side is the meds won't keep a malignant
tumor from getting worse. so removal is best. The last ferret I did
surgery on was 5 years old.. Also I don't see a problem using the melatonin
with the Lupron. Hopefull the other ferret doc who lists will get you some
other info and answer your questions. Also be sure to check the archives,
there has been a lot of discussion in these areas. Good Luck.
