We currently have two ferrets who have both had surgery AND are on
lupron AND continue to have prostatee inflammation.  Surgery/lupron
is not curative for all ferrets.
 
There was an article in the most recent Vet Clinics of North America
publication showing how to remove the prostate.  We're now looking into
this surgery. :-(
