Recently one of my little ones was dignosed with ovaryan cysts.  The vet
recomended HCG (hormone replacement) therapy, which greatly reduced the size
of the cysts, and made her regain some hair.. However, after 4 treatments,
he feels that she will not respond any more to HCG.  He is now recomending
Lupron, which is another hormone analog.  However, he admits to never having
used it on GPs before (he's used it on ferrets and birds).  Therefore, he
has a concern about potential side effects that he may be unaware of.   Has
anyone on the GPDD had any experience with Lupron?

THanks!
Carlos
