goldenluv Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I am thinking of using Suprelorin® on my 2 year old golden boy as I am babysitting a female golden. has anyone used this before or one similar, how did it go, any side affects for the boys.

Rebanne Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 if you think you might want to breed in the future with your boy then I would advise you to freeze some semen before implanting him. Seems a bit of overkill when you are just babysitting. If the bitch is staying for a long time and may come into season while staying with you, you would still have to keep them separate so they don't mate when you are not there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Are you babysitting NOW ? is the bitch in season NOW ? If not , perhaps ask the bitch's owner to put HER on a hormone treatment ? Do you have anywhere to completely and securely separate the two ( not just an interior door) ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenluv Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 no she is not in season now and I do have separate areas for them. suppose I am being a bit paranoid, but really do not want any oopsie just thought that if people have used it with no side affects to the boy, it would just be safer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Im not sure if its even on the market anymore & no way would i put the bitch on anything either to stop her season . Either way as mentioned you will have to keep separate as males can still mate & tie . You can give Chlorophyll to help mask the smell & pray your male doesn't go bonkers barking,peeing & not eating so be mindful of bloat risk on him as well. Or board the bitch at her ripe time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I used it. 12 month implant lasted 2 years, dog did go on to sire a litter. I have now used it again in an older male dog whom I don't want to GA and desex. Chances are his testosterone won't ever come back up if he is still around after the implant wears off. I would only use it if you have collected or if you don't care if the dog is fertile afterwards. There is a chance thier fertility won't come back after it. I did a topic on it in here a number of years ago now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
