I'm a bit confused. I thought melatonin only relieved adrenal symptoms. In that
case, it would be unbeneficial to mask adrenal disease when a vet could do the
appropriate surgery to remove any tumors, especially malignant ones. But does it
stave off adrenal in healthy ferrets? That would seem unlikely, although in essense
I'm just guessing.
