Another point to consider is that Lupron is a medication. Therefore, the vet would either have to write a prescription or supply the medication for you.
While I have no trouble giving a ferret a subq injection, I would certainly not give an intramuscular one. There are too many things that can go wrong, like hitting bone, tearing muscle, going into a vein instead of muscle... The same reasons I don't like giving IM injections to people.

By the time you buy the syringes, needles, the Lupron AND do all this without compromising the sterility of any of it, then having to inject it in a muscle, I don't believe it's worth it to try to home administer it or if there would be any worthwhile savings.
