One of our adrenal boys recently had a UTI and has shown some symptoms
that the vet feels are indicative of a prostate problem. We are
watching him closely and he is getting Melatonin implants and Lupron
injections.

I have heard of the use of cranberry supplements in helping with
urinary health for ferrets with prostate issues.

I have found the soft gels in two strengths: 140 mg (equivalent of
1680 mg fresh cranberries) or 420 mg (equivalent 5,040 mg fresh
cranberries). I was wondering what strength others have used, and
how much you give them (per ferret) and how often. I was planning
on putting it in the soup, which we give twice a day.

Also if anyone knows of a better form rather than the soft gel and a
source I would appreciate that.

Thank you
Risa
