Hi Pam,
You mentioned Dr Cathy Johnson-Delaney's
article reporting lethargy after a melatonin implant
in a petite (560 gram), geriatric female ferret. The
rest of the story is, this ferret was also sedated with
ketamine and acepromazine for the implant and to
collect bloood. Ketamine and acepromazine is an
injectable anesthesia that can cause prolong recovery
and kidney damage. I would suspect the lethargy was
related to the administration of ketamine and ace and
not to the melatonin implant.
Hope that clears up some of the confusion,
Jerry Murray, DVM
