Does anyone know if it is safe to give a ferretonin implant early?
What are the risks?

are some past FHL vet posts which may help so read those, too):]

It would appear from those that it should be safe, but you need to
ask how large the time release Lupron given was, and also ask your
treating vet, explaining your situation. ****In part the answer depends
on the weight of the Lupron already given**** and that info isn't in your
posts, so when you call to ask if it would be okay also ask the weight
of Lupron given already.]
