Sugar received her implant today. Suprelorin 4.7mg.
In the six days since she was diagnosed her fur generally has
coarsened and thinned all over. She has very little fur on her feet
and looks like a pink-footed ferret. Her skin pigment is very pink.
For anyone in Europe the implant can be ordered from Virbac S.A. they
are the sole licensed supplier in Europe. The cost in the UK is =A356
but there are two implants in the pack, I offered to pay for both as
neither I nor the vet realised this but he only charged me =A328 + tax
and he will find out the shelf life of the implant.
He injected the implant while I held her and let her lick ferretone
from my finger, she only flinched as the implant was ejected from the
end of the (huge) needle.
I will add further updates as things progress.
Tony (not a vet), Sugar and Suki.
In memory of Sally and Sue.
