No no no, it is NOT an implant and it is not expensive and it is NOT that drug either. What I am saying makes nos sense to YOU, Where I LIVE, SOME vets will do it only when there are serious beahavioral problems at 6 months for the earliest. 99% of them wont, some dont ever neuter so what are you on about? And I didnt know you were a vet, my bad Last edited by soccbydo; 10-29-2007 at 03:03 AM. | |

Yes, this is excatly what it is for and it is REVERSALBE for breeding. It is not an implant and it is not harmful or the few vets who will administer it before ten months wont be doing so if it was harmful. Actually, they prefer this over the castration | |

| I found a website form the UK about this... it says, Male dogs can be neutered, castrated, when they are 6 months or older. The castration procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic. The operation involves the removal of the testicles. There can be several reasons why a male dog has to be castrated. This can be for a medical reason or to stop excessive sexual behaviour and other unacceptable behaviour characteristics. Medically the dog may only have one testicle descended into the scrotum, the other could be in the abdomen. If this is the case the dog should be castrated as the testicle in the abdomen could become a tumour and upset the whole hormonal system. A tumour of this type can be life threatening if it spreads to other parts of the body. Behaviourally a dog can, if highly sexed mount people and inanimate objects around the house. Unneutered males can be aggressive, in particular with other dogs, they mark their territory, in the house and outside. They will also wander off, especially if they sense there is a bitch in season nearby. Sometimes castration will be ineffective as the behaviour has become a habit. Other behaviours can take several months before any change is noticed. There are some disadvantages in having your dog neutered. A castrated dog can have a change in the appearance and texture of his coat. Some of the hairier breeds can have excess hair over the hindquarters and the smooth coated breeds can develop bald patches. The other problem that can occur is weight gain, with some breeds being more susceptible than others. Once neutered try and cut out the treats, and increase the amount of exercise. The control of the dogs sexual behaviour can also be achieved without surgery. There is available a hormone injection which is administered by your vet. This injection mimics the effects of castration, however the dog may not become infertile. There are various commercial products, like sprays and lotions, which can be used on the areas where the dog is scent marking around the house. These products have various degrees of success. That would prove the injection exists . It also says this will be beneficial if you want to show your dog. However, the one testicle problem will require a neuter eventually. Hope this helps!

| Also there is a "permantent" hormone injection as well that has been approved by the FDA. Here is the site. http://www.animalsheltering.org/reso...neutersol.html

I would honeslty like to see those who castrated me for speaking of this injection. Some so out of tune with what I was talking about, kept harping about implants and other nonsense. THIS IS A SAFE INJECTION OR THEY WONT BE USING IT: | |

That actually is what you said. It might not be what you meant to say but it is what you said. This mysterious place where you live is very confusing. It is illegal to neuter before 12 months although for some reason your vet will neuter at 10 months. So I guess you are correct when you say where you live does not make sense to us.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Medical history shows that many times procedures, medicines, etc. are considered safe, only to be proven at a later date that they are not. Just because something is deemed safe today, may not be the case tomorrow. With anything that would alter the dogs chemical make-up, I would hesitate to use it, especially if not absolutely necessary. And, btw, I do take offense at your ridiculous notion that here in the US our dogs are not a priority.

I am quite sure this shot is far SAFER THAN MOST COMMERCIAL DOG FOODS sold. I have not heard of one dog dying for it. But I have heard of dozens dying from FOOD And a footnote. ANYTHING INVENTED BY man will be at some point in time rendered dangerous. | |

| You have probably noticed that this board is made up of people from all over the world. I seriously doubt that you could find even 1 member who allow her dog to receive an unnecessary injection if 99% of the vets in her country refused to give them. I'm also sure you would find that America is not the only country with shelters.
