it was described to me by our vet as a contraceptive with the added benefit of preventing adrenal disease !

There's an even newer temporary neutering product available now in the UK that may be more effective against adrenal disease. It's brand name is Supralorelin (drug name deslorelin). It was licensed a year or so for temporary castration of male dogs but some vets are now using it to treat adrenal disease and to temporarily neuter ferrets.

 

One of my jills was implanted with the deslorelin implant 3 months ago because she had developed adrenal disease. Even though she's seven, she's now doing really well. All her bald patches have gone and she's zipping around like a kit :)
