In my personal opinion, based on my experiences, this is not true.
I've had ferrets on lupron for more then 3 years (and counting) that
have done far better then ferrets that have had both glands surgically
removed. It's been my experience that ferrets do far better, and live
far longer with a much higher quality of life, on lupron alone....even
when malignancy is involved. The latest studies (by Dr. Delaney) may
help to explain why this is....
