Because it is an inherited trait, affected dogs should not be bred and should be castrated ...
The male hormone, testosterone, is produced in limited quantities following treatment with Zeuterin, but after two years, testosterone production is similar to that in untreated dogs. [1] The continuing presence of testosterone means that, unlike surgical castration, chemical castration does not remove the risk of testosterone-associated ...
