Drug Aids In Controlling Female Dogs Estrus
A drug called Prodox developed by The Upjohn Co. aims to prevent estrus in female dogs by mouth, offering a new approach beyond spaying and traditional measures. The chemical hydroxyprogesterone acetate, a derivative of Serberane, shows promise in keeping beagle females out of season with no noted difference in future whelping when compared to untreated dogs. The issue affects hunting and show dogs, with owners seeking non-surgical options and timing flexibility. Remember Lorain County Kennel Club obedience classes start May 2 at Ely School Grounds, Gull Rd, and Oh St at 7:30 pm, with diplomas after 10 weeks.
