Prostate (Finasteride vs Flutamide)

21 10:58:14

Question
I have a 5 y/o male, status post L adrenalectomy 10/06 who is now presenting with frequent urination and dribbling.  He was started on Lupron, and also Flutamide twice a day.

I have read a lot of studies in the use of finasteride for shrinking the prostate, and wanted to see if you have had experience (and success) with using it.  Just looking for opinions from anyone who has used either one.
Thanks!

Answer
I have a URL for you - it's a group who constantly are searching for and comparing results to various treatments to diseases in ferrets. I would think you could get a lot of replies for your question here:

http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/

I think you *may* have to join the group to participate, but it's just a matter of submitting your email address and name (if I remember correctly).

I hope this can help with the information you are seeking. Since it's so specific, I felt it best to present it in front of the folks most likely to be up on the very latest of results - they may even have other suggestions.

Best of luck to you and your ferret!

Sincerely,
