I have been involved in the US study on deslorelin by Dr Robert Wagner and
our experience was the deslorelin worked on ferrets even in cases when
lupron did not. It has even worked on ferrets when lupron/melatonin combo
did not. It really is a fantastic drug therapy option for non-surgical
candidates. Just my experience :)
