Hi! I wanted to respond to the question about Lupron. I have a 7 year old female ferret who recently had her first lupron injection. I was amazed at how great that stuff works. Only 24 hours after her first injection, Chicken's swollen vulva had already decreased in size. And now almost 3 weeks after the first injection, she is starting to regrow some hair and her vulva is almost back to normal size. I know all ferrets are different. But I dont think you need to worry about your little fuzzy getting the lupron inj. It has worked wonders for Chicken who is too old and fragile and to have surgery. Good Luck!
