http://www.smartgroups.com/message/readmessage.cfm?gid=1423922&messageid=1216 If you are interested in an "natural" treatment option for adrenal gland disease then try melatonin. Red clover is a big question mark, such as does it even work, is it safe for ferrets, etc. We know melatonin does indeed help and is safe for ferrets. The suggested dose is 1mg per ferret once a day, orally about 8-9 hours after sunrise. The other option is the male mink melatonin implant. Hope that helps, Jerry Murray, DVM [Sukie note: that this helps is known from vet experiece; in a past Dr. Jerry Murray post you will find him mentioning that usually surgery is best, folowed by Lupron or Lupron plus Melatonin, followed by Melatonin alone.] [Posted in FML issue 3896]
