Hi X, I just got to your post about using Lupron depot: 200mcg of the 4 month version from a N.H. pharmacy. Do you mean a total of 200 mcg? This would mean it is only releasing 50 mcg per month. Or do you mean 200 mcg a month (for a total of 800 mcg) of the 4 month version? If you are indeed using just 200 mcg per 4 months then you are only giving enough to treat a 1 pound ferret. Lupron is recommended at 100-500 mcg/kg per month (ie 400-1000 mcg/kg for 4 months). Most will respond to the 100mcg/kg/month level (about 80% of my cases); however, cases with prostate enlargements and cases with carcinomas typically take 200-300mcg/kg/month. Unfortunately some (<10%) of my cases do not respond even to the 300mcg/kg/month level. Some of these are large carcinomas, and some have spread to the liver. Even though the price sounds good, it is time to double check the actual amount of Lupron you are getting for your money. Jerry Murray, DVM [Posted in FML issue 3481]
