As I talked to Doctor X, concerning Precious Lucia's low blood glucose level, we decided to change her Lupron Injection Schedule, from every six months to every three months. Also, we changed her next injection date, to this coming Friday the 13th, one month ahead of schedule.
Doctor X thinks Lucia's Melatonin Implant may be the cause of her low blood glucose level. He discussed this, with two other veterinarians, in the Orlando area. Has anyone heard of a Melatonin Implant causing the lowering of the blood glucose level, with a Lupron Injection? Instead of the Melatonin Implant, she will be given a 1.0-mg Melatonin tablet, every other day.

[Moderator's Note: the most current evidence if that
melatonin decreases INSULIN levels, not glucose levels:

melatonin and insulin
