Subject: [ferrethealth] Virbac distributes (in Europe) but does not make Suprelorin
To: fhl <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>, Ferret Mailing List <ferret-l@LISTSERV.FERRETMAILINGLIST.ORG>
The European branch of Virbac distributes it in an agreement with
Peptech. Peptech makes it. It may be that Virbac simply ordered
enough earlier, but Peptech did not expect the number of U.S. orders
coming in.
That may be a way to market it here in the U.S. since Virbac has been
here for something like 2 decades (located in Fort Worth).

As has been said, be very careful to NOT get the wrong product. The
NON-implant horse version won't last long in the body so it will
worsen things for the same reason that using 24 hour Lupron instead
of a Lupron DEPOTdoes. See:
http://www.miamiferret.org/24hr_lupron.htm
Lupron and Suprelorlin (deslorelin IMPLANT) are in the same family of
drugs.
