I meant "we" as in a general term, as "we, as veterinarians"...not me personally.

No, No, I have not personally used Neutersol. I did a search on Veterinary Information Network in which tens of thousands of vets post information about cases and research and could not find much info on its use in practice. If it's not commonly used there is likely a good reason for this!

Well guys...you are keeping me busy checking out this thread! I am trying to clean my kitchen here! LOL! I just want to clarify that I do not charge anything at all for the articles...it is simply the "Ask A Vet" portion that is charged for.

OK...no problem...I should have known that! :)

And thanks Fransheska, for being nice to me. LOL!

By the way, if the Chazhound forum is so against vets helping people online, why is there an ad for "Ask A Vet Online" at the top of the page?

Just to clarify...I would never tell someone not to go to their vet. My site by no means takes the place of a vet visit. And yes, I am a practicing vet. I have been licensed for 11 years and work in a busy practice. I mostly see dogs and cats but do treat some pocket pets as well. I do a...

All but two of my posts were in response to other members in this forum - answering questions about their pets. The two that weren't were my introduction post and this one. Spamming is when someone pops into a forum and posts a link to their site and doesn't contribute at all to the...

I will generally only give three sets of shots. However, there is some research that shows that some large breed dogs are not fully protected unless they have had 4 sets of shots. The breeds that were particularly at risk were large black and tan dogs such as Rotties and Dobies. For a while...

LOL Crisosphynx! The first forum that I ever posted in was one that you were a member of. You had a personal vendetta against me from the start. You petitioned the moderators to ask me to leave so I did. I have not been banned from other forums.

Ouch..ok...point taken guys. I post on a few different forums and chazhound is by far the hardest on me. I thought some of you may be able to help me out, but I guess I understand if you feel I am just in things for the money. Sorry to offend. Dr. Marie

Interesting...I just did a thorough search and could not find information on this. We used to apparently do chemical castration with a product called Neutersol, but it is no longer available to vets. Can you give me more info? I wasn't aware anyone was doing this.

As far as I understand, chemical castration is not routinely done on dogs. I believe it lowers the testosterone enough to hopefully reduce sex drive, but does not stop testosterone production completely. Therefore, you would still have the risk of testicular cancers, and prostate problems that...

As most of you know, I run an online vet advice site. I want this site to also be full of informative articles. I've got a lot of veterinary knowledge that I really enjoy writing about! I'd like to write some articles about things that people may be having difficulty finding elsewhere...

For me, the bible is a book I read endlessly...there is so much in it. God hides things in there and it's so cool when you find a hidden gem!
