Randy, while I have never heard of an allergy to Lupron Depot this does sound like that is a
possibility, esp. if the ferret has had a number of such implants (since multiple exposures
to an allergen increase the risk factor). Anything with proteins in it can spur an allergic
reaction, so even if something is not a common allergen there still can be unusual cases.
