Holistic Adrenal Supplements for Pocket Pets
What are common adrenal issues in pocket pets?
Hyperadrenocorticism is a common adrenal issue that develops in pocket pets, specifically ferrets. This condition is known as Cushing's disease in dogs and humans but is a little different in ferrets. Unlike Cushing's disease in dogs and humans, overactive adrenal glands in ferrets causes an excess of reproductive hormones. These glands may be overactive due to excessive growth, benign tumors, or cancer.
Adrenal disease in ferrets may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Hair loss
- Scabs and itchy skin
- Thinning of skin
- Female ferrets: vulva swelling
- Male ferrets: enlarged prostate, difficulty urinating
- Muscle weakness or atrophy
- Sexual aggression
For adrenal disease in ferrets and pocket pets, we suggest adding NHV's Supraglan to their daily meals. This natural remedy contains many healing herbs that are formulated to gently re-balance adrenal function, help encourage healthy elimination and help regulate the metabolism.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Disease in Ferrets and Other Pocket Pets
Supraglan is an all-natural blend of herbs specially formulated to focus on all areas affected by glandular disorders like adrenocortical disease in ferrets. In addition to supporting healthy adrenal function, Suplaglan also contains herbs that support the urinary tract, the liver, and immune system, which we know are vital to maintaining a healthy body.
Additional info: The adrenal glands are two small glands located next to the kidneys. They work with the pituitary and hypothalamus glands to help maintain essential body processes such as digestion, immune function, and most importantly, the body's response to stress.These glands play a key role in your ferret's overall well-being, so supporting their function is essential to maintaining long-term health. Explore these 5 tips for helping your ferret live a healthier life.
