My ferret Sugar showed slow and at times imperceptible progress after her implant
The progress of Sugar for the first 90 days was a follows:-
> Sugar's progress
>
> Day 10.
>
> Sugar's vulva has decreased in size to about 50% of what it was on
> the day she was treated.
> I first saw a change about day 5 but I couldn't persuade myself
> that it wasn't my imagination. I have checked every day and the
> changes are so small day by day that it is hard to see a difference
> but now I am sure.
> Day 30
> Sugar's vulva is now less then half its maximum size, the day to day
> changes are imperceptible but it is smaller than day 10. Her skin
> pigment has lost its very pink color and her fur feels softer. At
> this time of year they all get combed every day with a fine steel
> flea comb as this helps me judge the condition of their under fur by
> the feel of the comb. Over the last few days I have started to get a
> few wisps of fur from Sugar and this is about the time of year my
> ferrets begin to put on their winter coats.
> All my ferrets seem to take 4-6 weeks, centered around October to
> complete this process. The timing may be climate/latitude influenced
> but its always the same.
> She has become more playful over the past few days, more like her
> old self.

> Day 60
>
> Sugar's vulva is now 5-10% of its maximum size, the changes seem to
> happen in a non linear way, nothing seems to happen for a week and
> then a big reduction in size almost overnight.
> She seems to have almost finished shedding her summer coat, I am
> combing out less day by day, she was a bit skimpy in the fur
> department anyway but she had no bald patches.
> She has become livelier than she was prior to the implant and is
> now enjoying a good wrestle everday with Suki. Her appetite seems

> Day 90
>
> Sugar's vulva is now of normal conformation as far as I can tell,
> the changes continued to happen in a non linear way.
> She has now got her full winter coat, very thick and soft with some
> yellowing around the neck and shoulders, this yellowing has
> stabilised with no increase in area over the past 3 weeks.
> She has remained livelier than she was prior to the implant and her
> appetite remains good.

Tony, Sugar and Suki.
