The dose Dr. Wiess recommends is 2mg of the 4 month depot. That's the
total. The pharmacy he recommends gets the 30 mg human size dose and
breaks it down into 15 2mg doses for ferrets. The "4 month depot" means
that it stays active in the ferret for 4 months. Actually, from what I
read, it's like 4 to 6 months.
