Jennifer,
I have had amazing results with Melatonin. Sometimes it has taken the
2nd implant before it works. But I have one little guy that has had 3
implants and it appears not to be working. That's not to say it isn't
working in ways I can't see, it just hasn't brought his hair back. I
love my bald babies so I don't care about that. I have also had ferrets
on Pred and it hasn't stopped the Melatonin from doing its job. So I
don't know what the answer is. Maybe like people, not everything works
for everyone.
