Als Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte sehen wir unsere Verpflichtung darin, die Zucht von Tieren nur zu unterstützen, wenn diese unter medizinischen Aspekten für die Zucht geeignet sind. Tiere, welche selbst anatomische Deformationen oder psychische Merkmale aufweisen, welche mit Schmerzen, Leiden oder Schäden verbunden sind, oder bei denen zu erwarten ist, dass Nachkommen unter Problemen leiden werden, welche zu Schmerzen, Leiden oder Schäden führen, sind von der Zucht auszuschließen. Zudem können wir Zuchtpläne nicht unterstützen, wenn ein erhöhtes, voraussehbares Risiko für Geburtsstörungen oder andere Belastungen von Elterntieren oder Nachkommen zu erwarten ist. Weiterhin lehnen wir nicht medizinisch indizierte Operationen und andere Maßnahmen strikt ab, welche anatomische Mängel von Tieren beheben oder verbergen sollen. Die tiermedizinische Notfallversorgung, wie zum Beispiel Geburtshilfe und neonatologische Notfälle, ist von diesen Beschränkungen ausgeschlossen. Eine generelle Listung von Rassen, bei denen wir Dienstleistungen ablehnen, halten wir nicht für sinnvoll, da wir weiterhin den Dialog mit den Tierhaltern und Züchtern beibehalten und für Aufklärung sorgen wollen und es innerhalb jeder Rasse gesündere und weniger gesunde Zuchtlinien bzw. Zuchttiere gibt. Diese Leitlinien geben vor, welche Voraussetzungen Tiere erfüllen müssen, damit wir die Zucht aktiv unterstützen können. Sie beziehen sich im Folgenden vielfach auf das ob struktive Atemnotsyndrom brachyzephaler Hunde [1–3], aber auch auf andere Merkmale. Wir können zuchtunterstützende Maßnahmen nicht anbieten, wenn einer der folgenden Punkte zutrifft: ▪ Anatomische Merkmale, die mit erheblichen körperlichen Leiden verbunden sind und/oder bei denen zu erwarten ist, dass die Nachkommen ebenfalls betroffen sein werden (z.

The 4.7 mg deslorelin SRI should reduce testosterone after 6-8 weeks and induce castration-like effects for 6 months (mon).

CG dogs were surgically castrated after measurement of testicular dimensions and blood sampling for testosterone. In TG, SRIs remained for 5 mon in place and subsequently 3-7 male dogs were surgically castrated at removal (week, W 0) or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 weeks later.

After implant removal, testosterone and testicular volumes increased.
