A Flagstaff scientist may have discovered a non-surgical way to sterilize dogs - an advance that would revolutionize animal-shelter medicine and address Arizona's canine-overpopulation problem in the process, according to one veterinary expert.
Dr. Loretta Mayer was looking for a way to artificially induce menopause in mice so they could be used to study human diseases when she and another scientist developed a drug that they realized also could be used to sterilize female dogs, removing the need for painful and expensive surgery.
I support it for people. I seriously wonder how safe it is to bring on menopause early though. No way I'd do it to my dogs. I'll do the spay / neuter route. A couple days of pain meds and they act like nothing happened.

That was my thought, I can't imagine early menopause being good for a dog...I'm menopausel myself and it sucks dust.
Yeeeeeah...we know the side effects of the surgery...I'll wait til this is out for a decade or two before I try it on an animal of mine.
