I have been trying to find out this information for several months. My
vet had also requested that I try to find out. I had given up hope
since no one was able to answer that question. I knew it was available
for use in horses here in Canada. Your post prompted me to contact a
veterinary compounding pharmacy in Ontario I recently learned about.
I just got off the phone with the pharmacist and indeed they can
compound a Deslorelin Depot for use in ferrets but need to know what the
dose would be. He also said they could make it up in a 3 month depot,
he was reluctant to say they could do a yearly depot.
Sukie or anyone, would you have the reference for what dose is being
used in Europe or at the clinical trial level in the U.S. for use in
ferrets?
I'd be grateful! This is very good news for us in Canada.
