If it's 2.0 mg of the four month Lupron, that's the right price.
It's quite likely that he could do quite well with half that dosage,
thereby cutting the cost to $100 for a dose that will last at least
four months.

I have to agree with this. I know we always say surgery is the best
option, and some have said they've had ferrets that old have
successful surgery at that age, but I would be extremely hesitant at
9 years old. This is only my opinion, you understand.
