Hi Rob
No, there is no way to make the 1 month version
of Lupron into the 4 month version of Lupron. One
thing you can try (to give the injection to the little one)
is to give her laxatone, nutri-cal, ferretone, A/D, etc
to distract her at the front end as you give the injection
into her back leg.
Some carcinomas do not respond that well to Lupron.
It is likely that these tumors are beyond LH/FSH control.
You can monitor clinical signs and blood hormone levels
to monitor adrenal gland hormone production.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
PS if you think blood hormone testing is expensive wait
until you pay for that 30mg, 4 month Lupron depot!
It cost roughly $2040 a bottle.
