HI, I live in Bedminster NJ. I have a 6 1/2 yr. old ferret named Daniel with adrenal disease. Currently he is on herbs but I am also considering going the Lupron shot route with him. I am too nervous about surgery for him at his age. The reason I am interested in Lupron is that he is sooo itchy. I thought that if he had more hair growth he might not be so itchy. He actually has 3/4 of his hair and it is pretty long, but again he is just so itchy. Oatmeal baths do help some , but it is too cold to give them to hima ll the time. I wanted to know if anyone knows of a vet in the central NJ area that will provide the shot. I have only found one vet so far and it is $125. a shot. My vet doesn't do it. Also, Daniel will often wake up having coughing fits. It's a pretty dry cough,a nd sometimes he will seem like he is spitting at the end of a cough. I think it may be from ingesting his own hair since it is coming out. I give him petramalt when these fits occur, and it seems to help. Any thoughts from the ferret world on any of this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Renessa [Posted in FML 6240]
