One of our little girls, Temper, had surgery to remove her left adrenal almost a year ago. She slowed slight improvement, and then started to aggressively lose her hair again. So.... we started her on Lupron 4 mths ago. My vet isn't as familiar with it being used in ferrets, so we both learned about it before hand by asking questions, researching the i-net, etc. I think that he started her on 200micrograms. On her last dose, since we weren't seeing any improvement (hair loss was actually worse) I asked him to increase to 250 micrograms, which took up the last of what we ordered. He said that 250 was almost the maximum dose, and that since it wasn't a drug that could be counteracted, it was dangerous to overdose. He suggested that I research some other drugs that inhibited in the same way (I don't have them in front of me, but I think that one started with an "A"). But, I've never heard of anything but Lupron being used for adrenal problems in ferrets. What are we doing wrong? I always hear about how well Lupron works, and I want to order another batch, but I need to know what we are doing wrong so that I can tell my vet. Thanks! Reagan [Posted in FML issue 4665]
