Varied Perspectives on Non-Surgical Sterilization Methods:
There have been varied perspectives on the use of non-surgical sterilization of the dog since these products do not entirely solve the problem of the overpopulation of dogs and cats. Additionally, the varied perspectives and arguments on the use of these methods have also been due to the fact that some people don't care since they want to breed their animals. Given that there is no secure and effective non-surgical sterilization method of the dog that has been identified and announced, the varied perspectives have continued to increase. However, there have been various approaches to identify non-surgical products though none of the products have shown tremendous results to be widely adopted and implemented (Bowen, 2006).
One of the major perspectives has been against the non-surgical sterilization of the dog since the methods that have been explored have not only been ineffective but have also proven to have side-effects like the surgical methods. For instance, evaluation on the immunization against luteinizing hormone (LH) as a means of sterilization was only effective in some dogs. LH vaccines have however not been further pursued because the immunity obtained during the various evaluations were so variable. The effective contraception was also not achieved when a similar approach in immunization against gonadotrophin releasing hormone was evaluated. Furthermore, some research has revealed significant side-effects in the evaluation of the effectiveness of zona pellucida vaccine. These serious side-effects include the development of cystic ovaries after the zona pellucida vaccine was used in the treatment of dogs.
Conclusion:
As compared to the surgical sterilization of dogs,...
In the control of the overpopulation of dogs, non-surgical sterilization will be much affordable and available across the globe unlike the surgical sterilization costs that are expensive. While some of the non-surgical sterilization methods on the dog have been ineffective and produced serious side-effects, surgical sterilization is considered as an intolerable violation of animal rights by some people.
