Subject: Lupron and Surgery
Cedes had his first Lupron injection today. For
those of you who missed my recent post,
Professional Arts Pharmacy (recommended by Dr.
Weiss) does have Lupron in stock and is sending it
right out. Since Cedes was my vet's "virgin
voyage" (as he called it) with Lupron, he kept him
a couple of hours just to make sure there were no
reactions. He did just fine. I'm now closely
watching for his fur to start coming back in.
BTW, how long does it usually take?
Had bloodwork done on nearly 7 y.o. Lany as she's
been showing signs of adrenal disease; balding on
her behind. She also had a couple of skin tumors
removed nearly 6 months ago and the fur has never
fully grown back in. In fact, they stayed bald
for 3-4 months. Her vulva is not swollen. Her
bloodwork came back great so she's scheduled for
surgery on the 27th. This is Lany's first real
health problem in her nearly 7 years. I really
thought she was home free.
Did anyone ever answer how to give melatonin when
we work and can't give it at the correct time? I
would like to give it to Cedes along with the
Lupron but don't know whether I would be wasting
our time if it can't be given accurately.
