I worked with a vet to get the Des implants in our area and about 40 implants were done about mid April. I've tried to track the results of the implants. Nearly everyone noticed a much softer coat on the ferrets within a few weeks. It is not until the last few weeks that most of us have noticed any real results. We had also been questioning the results of the implants and, frankly, still do to some end. On a personal end, I have an adrenal male that did not respond to melatonin or Lupron. He had little hair loss but had become very aggressive. The aggression has ceased within the last few weeks. I have a small female that came in hairless on the back half of her body. With good food and care, she started growing some of the fur back in. About six weeks after the Des implant, she began growing in fur on the body. In the last few weeks the fur on the tail has really filled out. Debbie One female dog and her offspring can produce 4,372 puppies in seven years. One female cat can breed 12,680 kittens in five years. One person can prevent at least one such cycle and the suffering it brings. Spay & Neuter!! [Posted in FML 6779]
