I am not a vet. I looked trilostano up in the on line dictionary and it
said it translates to trilostane which is used to treat cushings disease
in dogs.Ferret adrenal gland disease is a whole different illness from
Cushings, One drug we use over here is Lupron. Europe has a drug called
Superlorean which can be substituted for Lupron. The best treatment for
adrenal disease in ferrets is surgery.
