She said that ferrets in the U.S. have a different kind of adrenal disease
which is genetic and that the European ferrets have a different kind of
adrenal disease which is not genetic and that is why it is used on the European
ferrets and not the U.S. ferrets. Has anyone heard of this?


**Uh, no. The cause of adrenal disease, whether in the US or in Europe, is
multifactorial and includes genetics and husbandry. Deslorelin works just
fine on US ferrets. The reason it is not commonly used in the US is because
of difficulty getting the implant form imported.**
