Hi All, I have had three of my ferrets on Melatonin for three months with no results. One male had an adrenal gland removed but no hair growth so I put him on 1mg of Melatonin mixed with nutrical at 2:00 pm every day. I have a female that had one adrenal gland removed and a partial gland that is involved with the vena cava but she had no hair growth nor did her vulva shrink so I put her on Melatonin and 200 mg Lupron. On the third depot of Lupron her vulva shrunk and her hair appears to be growing. The third ferret on Melatonin is a female named Mickey who has had her spleen removed and tends to paw her mouth. I have her on .2 mg predisone twice a day and 1 mg Melatonin at 2:00 pm but she is still bald with a normal sized vulva. I have read numerous articles about Melatonin but nothing about varing the dosages for effect or the efectiveness of the drug over a certain time period. If you know where I can get more info on treating ferrets with Melatonin I would appreciate it. Thanks, Steve and from all my babies waiting for us at the rainbow bridge including the gang of 51 ferrets plus Steve & Cheryl the bill payers.
