Depot Lupron is formulated for deep IM injection.
Do not use the 24 hour Lupron. This will likely make the ferret worse.
According to Cathy Johnson-Delaney, from work done several years ago, using
the daily Lupron causes tumors to enlarge at a very rapid rate.

SUB-Q AND OTHERS SAY NO. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN
THE EFFECTIVNESS OF THE LUPRON WHEN ADMINISTERED SUB-Q
