Hi Dr Ruth,
It was not me that recommended a dose
of Lupron before surgery, but the train of thought
is to get the hormone levels normalized before the
surgery. This allows the vulva to return to normal,
clears up the vaginitis/cystitis, and improves the
bone marrow production. I have used Lupron prior
to surgery for several clients that needed time to save
for the surgery, and it seems to help. This is just
an option that may make the surgery a little safer.
Just food for thought,
Jerry Murray, DVM
