Depo is generally just used as a shot for allergies. It shouldn't cause any problems as far as I've heard...we use it a lot at our clinic for all kinds of allergy problems.
That being said, I would honestly find a new vet! I would be furious if the vet confused me with someone else! I understand that accidents happen, but this would NOT fly at the clinic I work at. The doctors are supposed to read the chart before seeing you.
