The use of a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist slow-release implant (GnRH A-SRI) has become increasingly popular as an alternative for surgical contraception in many species. Although these implants have proven to be very effective in some species (eg, ferrets, rats, chicken, psittacines, and iguanas), they have been found less effective in other species (eg, male guinea pigs and rabbits, veiled chameleons, slider turtles, and leopard geckos). This review provides an overview of the available literature on the effects of GnRH A-SRIs in companion exotic animals.
促性腺激素释放激素激动剂缓释植入物(GnRH A-SRI)作为许多物种手术避孕的替代方法越来越受欢迎。尽管这些植入物已被证明在某些物种(如白鼬、大鼠、鸡、鹦鹉和鬣蜥)中非常有效,但在其他物种(如雄性豚鼠和兔子、蒙面变色龙、彩龟和豹纹守宫)中效果较差。这篇综述概述了关于GnRH A-SRI对伴侣外来动物影响的现有文献。
