I have a five year old male ferret who is on Lupron for an adrenal tumor that couldn't be removed during surgery. In Feb 03, he had his first dose of the 4-month depot that I got through the pharmacy Dr Weiss recommends (I can't remember the name). His next dose (in June 03) was one that my vet got through a local pharmacist. It was the 1-month depot and it had been mixed (I know there was a third liquid that was added to it-I am waiting to hear what it was, vet on vacation) about 5-6 months ago and then put in syringes and frozen. I am concerned because I am not seeing the same results that I did with the 4-month depot. Reggie is still sleeping alot and has no interest in playing. Has anyone had any experience with both the 1-month and the 4-month? Should I be seeing the exact same results or can they be different?
And I thought that freezing Lupron didn't work? Is it still as effective after being mixed and frozen for 6 months?

(Hope this makes sense--its all so confusing!!)
