Subject: Female In Heat

I have a three year old female that won't come out of heat. She has had
2 HCG shots now, spaced 14 days apart and it has been 10 days since the
second shot. It has been 5 weeks since she came into heat this time.
In the past 1 shot has done the trick with one exception and 2 shots
were needed then. (This is her 4th 'season')

She is a New Zealand ferret so I am not real worried about other
causes. (All though I am open to any thoughts)

Could the HCG meds used by the vet be out of date? (Does it lose it
potency if stored for long periods of time?)

Any suggestions? I am not open to spaying her. (Unless it is an
emergency!)
