Hi Tony
I was interested to hear that you are treating your ferret with
deslorelin. I am presuming you are based in the UK - on a UK ferret
forum the licensing of this drug was welcomed with interest. It seems
like your ferret will be one of the first in the UK to be treated
with this and I would be very interested to hear how she fares. Would
you be able to give us updates as she hopefully improves?
I myself have had 2 ferrets in the UK that have had adrenal, but I
treated them surgically which certainly cost far more than =A328!!!
Good luck and I hope your ferret improves soon.
