Oxytocin is used to assist in whelping to stimulate contractions of the uterus and mammary glands for milk letdown. Oxytocin is an FDA approved injectable hormone for use in veterinary medicine. It is naturally released by the hypothalamus section of the brain during labor to stimulate uterine contractions. Do not use until the cervix is naturally dilated. Normal nursing by the offspring will also cause the oxytocin to be released increasing contractions and milk letdown. Oxytocin should only be used under direction of a veterinarian. 100 ml bottle; each ml. contains 20 I.U. oxytocin.
Lupron®, or leuprolide acetate, is a drug that is used to treat adrenal disease in ferrets. "Depot" refers to how it works - it releases the entire dosage over a set period of time.
