OK, another country heard from. We know that not all adrenal tumors are malignant, so it looks to me like she's saying that in those cases where there is a...

... simultaneously. Can you elaborate on this? What is the reasoning for giving both and what has the outcome been for you? Karen McCabe...
Just a quick comment: we like both, and choose depending on what the vet advises for the particular ferret and what we feel comfy with. AND a question that is...
Oh, and the choice can also depend on how used to doing surgery on ferrets a vet is and on how far a person has to travel for Lupron depot shots, and which ...
I live in the southeast, Florida. I, personally, have found surgery to be much more effective than Lupron/Melatonin. Surgery is always my first choice,...
My biggest concerns would be spiders. AL has both black widow & brown recluse. And distemper lives in the soils for years to come. Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret...
... Both of those spiders do their best typically to avoid contact with mammals. That is way the rate of such bites is so low among humans. Both also live...
Sandra, We have the same here in IL. But most spiders live above the ground where they place their webs. Not really a threat to pets and humans. Am more...

Hey all. Today has been a really bad day for my ferret, Bear. To recap - he just turned 7, has insulinoma and is taking .5ml/mg prednisolone twice per day....
With insulinoma that is under medical treatment you have to expect to have times when doses must be increased for control. Remember, too, that surgery can be ...
We've increased meds for a second time as of today. He is still not responding and is at the point where he will immediately start pawing at his mouth once I ...
Okay, this is borderline OT but may help with the question of whether risks are greater indoors or out for these. If nothing else, having more data might...
