Hi Russ,
I have never used the Epogen for my ferrets, myself, so I don't know. I asked my vet about it with Bandit, and he mentioned it was expensive; it seemes to me it was in the $170 range for a container which I believe had a relatively short shelf life. Definitely not the $1200 range!
Hopefully one of our vets can share what the cost of this would be, or I can ask my vet Friday when I'm there.
