Subject: [ferrethealth] Cranberry supplement for prostate issue
To: "FML" <ferret-l@LISTSERV.FERRETMAILINGLIST.ORG>, "FHL FHL" <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
One of our adrenal boys recently had a UTI and has shown some symptoms that the vet feels are indicative of a prostate problem. We are watching him closely and he is getting Melatonin implants and Lupron injections.
I have heard of the use of cranberry supplements in helping with urinary health for ferrets with prostate issues.
I have found the soft gels in two strengths: 140 mg (equivalent of 1680 mg fresh cranberries) or 420 mg (equivalent 5,040 mg fresh cranberries). I was wondering what strength others have used, and how much you give them (per ferret) and how often. I was planning on putting it in the soup, which we give twice a day.
Also if anyone knows of a better form rather than the soft gel and a source I would appreciate that.
Thank you
Risa
