Subject: Re: Lupron dosage

I AM NOT A VET

Just wanted to make that clear before I said anything else. I also don't
know the dilute on the Lupron but there was no bump at all when Sundance
received either of his Lupron shots (1 month and 4 month), plus there was
enough of an improvement on the 1 month to warrent a shot of the 4 month and
now he's doing pretty well. The thing that I'm wondering is - were the shots
administered correctly? Sounds like they were put under the skin, which I'm
pretty sure is wrong. I spent many months giving Sundance daily insulin
shots and can handle under the skin, but my vet laughed when I asked if I
should give the Lupron - she said it has to be done just right or its useless
- and she doesn't charge me anything for administering the shot so she didn't
say that to generate a fee. Two babies, no improvement, I'd wonder... Just a
thought.

Good luck!
