This could be prostate related due to adrenal disease. I'm not
really sure how much Lupron you're giving him, but I can say with
confidence that it's not 100 MG. Given the average price we pay for
Lupron ($100 per milligram), that dosage would cost you $10,000.00!
If you know the figure is 100, then it's likely you meant "mcg"
(micrograms). 100 mcg's is 1/10th of a milligram and if that's the
amount he's getting, that's a very small dose and it's doubtful that
it's enough to have any effect on his adrenal disease.
Typical dosage of the four-month Lupron that is given to ferrets is
one to two milligrams (1000-2000 mcg).
Find out for sure how much Lupron he's getting and we can go from
there.
