Subject: Lupron not working?

I had my 8.5 yo ferret vaccinated about six or seven weeks ago with the 4-6=
month Lupron shot. After a couple of weeks, he showed some improvement in =
his urination, which was the big concern. However, this morning I heard him=
crying as we went and it was just tons that came out, like he'd been block=
ed and it just all came out at once.
I was also told that his hair would start to grow back in about a month, an=
d in fact he's gotten even balder. The vet who did this is extremely reputa=
ble, but I have to say, I'm a bit pissed off that I had to spend $250 and w=
e haven't helped Max at all. Is it possible that Lupron just simply doesn't=
work for some cases?
I'm taking him to another vet this week for a second opinion, and am gearin=
g up that we may be doing surgery to save his life. Other than his insulino=
ma and his adrenal he's still toddling along and doing well, and is a good =
weight.
Has anyone else had the problem of Lupron not working?
