I have had one ferret on a relatively low dose of Lupron (150mcg
monthly) for over two years since his adrenal surgery. The surgery
gave him only a year of no symptoms. The Lupron has worked extremely
well to control the symptoms. I recently started him on 1mg of the
four-month Lupron, and so far so good. While it works out to a
slightly higher dosage each month, the cost is about the same and
there's less stress on Spaz (and me!) by having to go in every month.

I have never had a need to use Propecia.
