Melatonin and ferrets

[NMH2001]

I have a 3 y/o male ferret who is starting to show some of the early signs of adrenal ds. (urine dribbles, aggression). Due to cost, I opted for the melatonin implants vs the monthly Lupron shots.

Just wondering if anyone has opinions on the melatonin, namely if they are just as good as Lupron? Also, does anyone know if there is another company besides Melatek that sells these things?

Thanks!
