Yes, it was definitely 200 mcg. The vet emailed me to tell me the dosage, and in the email he wrote it as both 200 mcg and 0.2 mg to be very clear. He also said that he used to use only 136 mcg for a 4-month Lupron Depot shot. He seemed to think that 1.0 mg was way too much. I need to speak with him about giving Trinny at least a 500 mcg shot, since the 200 mcg shot hasn't done anything, and it's been more than 6 weeks now. I understand that there's the possibility that she has a malignancy, but I don't think we can know that unless we give her a stronger shot to see if that helps.
