I'm pleased to announce 4 new additions to our furry family - but they
aren't weasels (in fact the weasels don't even know they exist - and we
plan to keep it that way!) My older daughter now has 2 mice, Cottonball
and Kangaroo - named for their constant imitation of their respective
namesakes.  My teenage son now has 2 hamsters, Natalie and Choflin (or
something like that - no idea how he came up with that name.) I'm proud
of my kids - they took it upon themselves to research the animals before
we got them - we didn't have to tell them this.
 
On another note, I've been trying to figure something out for a while.  I
have seen and heard references to Lupron as a treatment for adrenal
disease.  However, I have also seen plenty that seem to say that it only
masks it as it treats the symptoms.  I have also seen it implied that it
is in between - treating the symptoms as well as slowing or halting the
progression of the growth.  What does Lupron actually do, and how do you
know whether surgery or medication is the better choice for a particular
ferret?
