What helps to know is the mcg or mg you get and if it is the depot for 1
month
3 or 4 month shot.
Apparently you are using the 1 month shot, but at what mcg dose, and
what price?
I like the 4 month depot, and have seen it for about $100 for 1mg
(1000mcg)
as the best bang for the buck so to speak :)
However, I am sure the one month shot has a little advantage in being
fine tuned a bit easier, but only going to the vets every 4-6 months
has its advantages as well. Either way, for those who don't know
we are only treating symptoms here
and suppressing the amount of circulating sex hormones, not doing
much for the tumor.
