Hi John,
Im a 3 month old ferret I would wait till the
spring time (end of Feb/beginning of March) to
give the implant. They did give high doses of the
implants to 8-10 week old mink kits without any
side effects.
Hi Deborah,
No, 6 years old is not too old for the implants! Six
is the age where there is a higher risk with surgery.
Hi Sue J,
Unfortunately there is no absorbable melatonin implant.
Neo-Dynamics/Melatek looked into it, but they were not
able to do it. I have not seen any problems with the "old"
implants under the skin.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
