Deslorelin Implants

[Georgiesmom]

Dr Auger of Crown Point Animal Hospital in Orleans gave permission for this email to be posted here 

I finally got the official news. The Deslorelin implants now last for up to 2 years in ferrets.  The company has started manufacturing more due to the high demand and so the cost has DECREASED.

The cost for implanting a ferret for adrenal gland disease is now $150 ( + tax). The ferret will require an exam prior to implanting if it has not been seen within 1 year.

Be advised that it may not last 2 years in some ferrets ( espescially with those with malignant adrenal cancer) but according to the research the majority do not need re-implantation for 24 months.

Thanks for the post Kim and to Dr.Auger for helping our community stay on the cutting edge of ferret heath! The price cuts not bad either! For those of you who already use the implant please feel free to post any and all comments so that we may help others with their decision.

Thanks again team!
