Non-Surgical Contraception in Female Dogs and Cats
Acta Sci. Pol., Zootechnica 13 (1) 2014,3–18 REVIEW ARTICLE NON-SURGICAL CONTRACEPTION IN FEMALE DOGS AND CATS Andrzej Max1, Piotr Jurka1, Artur Dobrzynski´ 1, Tom Rijsselaere2 1Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland 2Ghent University, Merelbeke, Belgium Abstract. Gonadectomy is the most commonly used method for permanent contra- ception in small animals. The irreversibility of the method is however a main drawback for its use in valuable breeding animals. Moreover, several negative side effects can be observed after surgical castration. Therefore several non-surgical methods were developed. This paper describes the current non-surgical methods of contraception used in female dogs and cats. They include hormonal procedures, such as application of progestins, androgens and GnRH analogues in order to prevent the ovarian cycle. Another method is the use of 4–vinylcyclohexene diepoxide, an industrial chemical destroying primordial and primary ovarian follicles. Further prospective possibilities consist in immunocontraception and in the elaboration of a safe and effective vaccine with reversible effect. Finally the use of several abortive drugs, such as aglepristone, PGF2α and dopamine agonists are presented. Key words: dog, cat, female, non-surgical contraception, oestrus prevention INTRODUCTION Surgical contraception by gonadectomy (castration) is frequently instituted in animals of both sexes and provides a permanent and irreversible effect. Additional- ly it may also serve as a method for treating diseases of the reproductive tract or hormone-dependent disorders. Finally gonadectomy may prevent sexually spread Corresponding author – Adres do korespondencji: Andrzej Max, PhD, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Department of Small Animal Diseases with Clinic, Nowoursynowska 159, 02-776 Warszawa, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] 4 A. -
Aglepristone (A-Gle-Pris-Tone) Alizin®, Alizine® Injectable Progesterone Blocker
Aglepristone . (a-gle-pris-tone) . Alizin®, Alizine® . Injectable Progesterone Blocker PRESCRIBER HIGHLIGHTS . Injectable progesterone blocker indicated for pregnancy termination in bitches; may also be of benefit in inducing parturition or in treating pyometra complex in dogs & progesterone-dependent mammary hyperplasia in cats. Not currently available in USA; marketed for use in dogs in Europe, South America, etc. Localized injection site reactions are the most commonly noted adverse effect; other adverse effects reported in >5% of patients include: anorexia (25%), excitation (23%), depression (21%), & diarrhea (13%). USES/INDICATIONS Aglepristone is labeled (in the U.K. and elsewhere) for pregnancy termination in bitches up to 45 days after mating. In dogs, aglepristone may prove useful in inducing parturition or treating pyometra complex (often in combination with a prostaglandin F analog such as cloprostenol). In cats, it may be of benefit for pregnancy termination (one study documented 87% efficacy when administered at the recommended dog dose at day 25) or in treating mammary hyperplasias or pyometras. PHARMACOLOGY/ACTIONS Aglepristone is a synthetic steroid that binds to the progesterone (P4) receptors thereby preventing biological effects from progesterone. In dogs, it has an affinity for uterine progesterone receptors approximately 3X that of progesterone. In queens, affinity is approximately 9X greater than the endogenous hormone. As progesterone is necessary for maintaining pregnancy, pregnancy can be terminated or parturition induced. Abortion occurs within 7 days of administration. Benign feline mammary hyperplasias (fibroadenomatous hyperplasia; FAHs) are usually under the influence of progesterone and aglepristone can be used to medically treat this condition. Aglepristone has been shown to have inhibitory effects on progesterone-receptor positive canine mammary carcinoma cells (Guil-Luna et al. -

Traps Used to Catch Fur Bearing Animals Are Tailored to the Species and Habitat of the Animal
Animal trapping methods - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_trapping_methods From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Traps used to catch fur bearing animals are tailored to the species and habitat of the animal. The trapper must consider the types of bait, the size of trap to be used, the placement of the trap and where the fur-bearing animal is most likely to be caught. The success of which is often due to the trapper's personal experience, familiarity with the habits of the animal, and the terrain. Conscientious and experienced trappers also take care that the trap is not in such place that it will be sprung by a non-target animal, nor will it attract the attention of people. A responsible trapper will check his traps at least once a day, and will be ready to quickly despatch a trapped animal if it is still alive. Although there are a variety of traps used for different purposes, this article focuses on the trapping of fur-bearing animals, and thus relies on foothold traps and conibear traps, though the utility of other types of traps will be discussed. 1History 2 Preparation for trapping 3 Fur-bearing animals 3.1 Bears 3.2 Beaver 3.3 Coyote 3.4 Fox 3.5 Lynx 3.6 Martens and fisher 3.7 Mink 3.8 Muskrats 3.9 Nutria 3.10 Mice 3.11 Rats 3.12 Otter 3.13 Rabbits 3.14 Raccoons 3.15 Sable 3.16 Skunks and Opossums 3.17 Squirrels 3.18 Tigers 3.19 Weasels 3.20 Wolverines 3.21 Wolves 4 Snares 5 Deadfalls 6 Box or cage traps 7Birds 1 of 11 1/5/2017 12:31 PM Animal trapping methods - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_trapping_methods 8 Skinning animals 9 Occupational Risks 10 See also 11 References 12 External links In North America and in other parts of the world with cold climates such as northern Europe or Siberia, there is a long history of trapping. -

Box 80154, TD Utrecht 3508, The Netherlands cDepartment of Farm Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands Received 7 July 2003; received in revised form 28 October 2003; accepted 1 November 2003 Abstract Agle´pristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist, was administered to six non-pregnant bitches in the early luteal phase in order to determine its effects on the duration of the luteal phase, the interestrous interval, and plasma concentrations of progesterone and prolactin. Agle´pristone was administered subcutaneously once daily on two consecutive days in a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, beginning 12 Æ 1 days after ovulation. Blood samples were collected before, during, and after administration of agle´pristone for determination of plasma progesterone and prolactin concentra- tions. The differences in mean plasma concentration of progesterone and of prolactin before, during, and after treatment were not significant. Also, the duration of the luteal phase in the six treated bitches (72 Æ 6 days) did not differ significantly from that in untreated control dogs (74 Æ 4 days). However, the intervals during which plasma progesterone concentration exceeded 64 and 32 nmol/l were significantly shorter in the six treated bitches than in untreated control dogs. The interestrous interval was significantly shorter in beagle bitches treated with agle´pristone (158 Æ 16 days) than in the same group prior to treatment (200 Æ 5 days). -
