Chemical castration Implant Suprelorin, Interested in people's experiences on using this method and why they used it and the outcome of using it. As some of you know Heiko was peeing blood, vet checked his prostrate but said it didn’t feel enlarged was given strong antibiotics which seemed to do the trick, but he’s been off them now for around 3 weeks no blood in his pee and urine test was clear but yesterday I noticed some blood spots again, he is entire (Having lost a young dog under anaesthetic) im reluctant to put him through operation if not needed, hence was thinking of trying chemical castration first.
Finn has an enlarged prostate and has regular blood tests but no disease so far. Treatment will be ypozane which is either 7 tablets or 6 month implant. Maybe another option for you.
I would want to try and find the cause of blood first Vee. This thread on Dogsey might be of some help: http://www.dogsey.com/showthread.php?t=179089
Thanks, had a chat with vet today he’s not sure what’s causing the blood spots and is not convinced it due to prostrate as it wasn’t enlarged when he examined him, so doesn’t recommend castration just yet, has advised me to keep a diary of when and how often spots occur, if it does get bad to contact him, his next route would be putting tube in his penis (ouch) to flush out bit by bit and that should give a better idea. @tina it works as a temporary castration an implant in the back of the neck that has the same effect as neutering for about six months by inhibiting a particular reproductive hormone.
