Subject: [ferrethealth] Ferretonin, Deslorin implants
To: "ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com" <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>

Hello,

My ferret Randy who had what I had believed was an abnormal reaction to his Ferretonin implant then had it removed is doing well. As I had explained, it wasn't the implant that caused the rapid breathing, it was the heart condition that the implant revealed when we began treating the adrenal disease. 

Randy had an ultra sound of his heart last week and the diagnosis was a weak left valve. Can't recall the actual medical term, but his valve isn't pumping the blood correctly, causing a backup of blood and his kidneys to slow down. He's been put on a diuretic and heart meds and I'm pleased to say is doing very well and back to his old obnoxious self. 

Now that we've treated the heart condition, his sexually aggressive behavior from the adrenal disease is back, so I'm trying to find some information on the Deslorin or Suprelorin implants. I'm confused and couldn't find any supplier information in the archives. Are the Deslorin implants available in the US and if so, who do we contact to get the implant? I had an email address for PepTech that I gave my vet for the Suprelorin implants, but she's been unable to get any response. 

What is the difference between the two or is Suprelorin just a longer acting implant? Could someone please supply contact information so we can order the implants and can we use the Ferretonin in conjunction with the Des or Suprelorin?

Thanks,
Leslie
