We have used deslorelin in my shelter for some adrenal ferrets, and our results have been great. I've seen it lasting about a year in males as well as females. There have been some reports of ferrets dying soon after receiving the implant, but from what I can tell they were mostly elderly, in fragile health, and in most cases being put on that class of drugs (Lupron/deslorelin) for the first time. I have 3 young healthy ferrets that have been on deslorelin implants all of their lives as part of a study, and I would not hesitate to use the implant on an otherwise healthy ferret.
