Here is the most recent vet post on Lupron dosing:

Yes, the dose for Lupron depot once a month is
100 mcg to 500 mcg per month. From your post you
give 500 mcg of the 4 month version, which means
a dose of 125 mcg per month for 4 months. Sure you
can add a second 500 mcg dose to give you 250 mcg
per month. Adding melatonin is another option too.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM

Remember that it is Lupron DEPOT.
If your vet does not see many ferrets then the vet
won't be getting enough to prepare in-house so in that
case here are contacts to help w both Lupron Depot and
melatonin implants:
