This morning I could almost swear, I heard Bubbles singing: I"ll be fuzzy fur Kissmas! You kin bet on dat! Mommy got me Deslorelin, when I went to the vet Melatonin did not work Lupron din't eeeder I was the ony naked fert eating at de feeder But........ I'll be fuzzy fur Kissmas! You can bet on dat! Mommy got me Deslorelin Now what do you tink of dat?! A little background. Bubbles is a 5 year old 1.2 pound live wire ferty. Non-stop action is her goal. She started showing signs of adrenal disease about a year ago. We started her on melatonin implants. I did not do much. She went from having fur only on her head and legs to having a strange tuft running the length of her back with bald stripes along her sides and her tail. When coupled with Lupron, her fur did thicken but we didn't see the rest of her fur coming in as we had hoped. So.......10/30/09, she got her first Deslorelin. Yes, she did get sleepy, which is very contrary to her personality, but I did not worry. I have two others on Deslorelin, and I knew the scoop. It's not quite a month, and Bubbles has fur everywhere.......Yea! She went through the serious itchy stage, which I helped her out by brushing her daily with a very soft baby brush. She loved it and would actually sit still for a little bit. I guess all the fur coming in at once is quite itchy, she had a couple spots where she itched too much and they got red, that's when I started brushing. It didn't look like fur yet, just darker skin. Now she isn't itching, and her fur is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long. She's so proud too! Momma still keeps brushing once a day, it seems to soothe her. I cannot say enough about these implants, they have helped all three of my little buddies. We were unsure if this would help Bubbles or the next step was surgery, but it seems to be working and after she got used to the implant, she has been back to her bouncy dancing weasel self. If anyone is thinking about it, I hope this helps. Cindy and the weasle wonders [Posted in FML 6532]
