To: fhl <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
Drugs like Epogen and Procrit are usually used only in extreme
situations with
ferrets, some of which may instead be addressed with transfusions or
even very
timely marrow transplant (Ferret marrow transplant info is in the
separate FHL
Archives (address in my sig lines)).
In the case of ferrets since the uses tend to under extreme conditions
the
considerations in this FDA notice on
>Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs): Procrit, Epogen and Aranesp
<http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm200391.htm
>
may not ultimately matter (if they apply to ferrets, too, though there
are some
shared behaviors in tumors in general), but it is good for vets to
know if there
are possible considerations.
