PG - 443-464 LID - S1094-9194(18)30011-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cvex.2018.01.011 [doi] AB - 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. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
