Hi Katharine,
That must be very worrisome. I think it depends on the ferret but I
would expect that there should have been some relief by now especially
with a dose as hefty as 1 mg. I am assuming it was the Lupron depot he
received and not the 24 hour dose?
I am wondering whether it is possible the Lupron wasn't viable, perhaps
outdated or not given soon enough after mixing??
My 2 year-old who had a blockage responded to the Lupron injection
literally within minutes. However, it was about 5 days before he wasn't
having any trouble whatsoever urinating.
Best of luck!
Tressie
