Lysodren is almost never used anymore.  It doesn't keep well, it's action
is variable, and some ferrets have such back responses to it that they
have periodic bouts of Addisons crises.
 
For a LOT of info on Lupron and a lot more health info check out and
save these addies (esp. the Ferret Doctor site for Lupron info):

Anyone whose ferret is ever going to have a health problem needs to save
and read the sites above (and a number of ones to which they link).
