I did a little publication searching today, and also wrote up some dosing
info after an FHL member said that a certain explanation helped.  So,
some abstracts and some other info in case some help you or your vets:
 
Some new ferret studies (adrenal disease -- one more blank tackled in
relation to how things which increase the production of too much LH,
including too much light (secondary to natural melatonin decrease)
and neutering lead to tumor formation; Campylobacter; renal disease,
asymptomatic ADV viral shedding; etc.):

Work into how melatonin helps fur growth (which looks like it was for the
fitch fur and wool markets for clothing industries):

Work into how melatonin can help when bone is compromised (as often
happens to ferrets with adrenal disease):

Information on treating insulinoma and knowing how much medication is
being given (since it is the mg amount that matters; the ml amount
does not tell how much medication is given):
