I recently wrote an article on the above topic and have placed it on my
website.  Dr. Jerry Murray was kind enough to review it for accuracy and
add a few of his own pieces of information to the article.
 
The part that seems to be generating the most interest is the information
in the article about the availability of a new product called
"Ferretonin".  This is basically the mink melatonin inplant that some
people use with their ferrets.  The implant provides a 3-4 month time
release of melatonin and eliminates the need to give melatonin daily.
Ferretonin comes preloaded in an implant device (syringe) with needle,
for approximately $14.95.
 
I have no connection whatsoever with the company that sells this product.
You can see the article here...

and find out more about melatonin usage for the treatment of adrenal
disease and the phone number and website for Ferretonin.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
