Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 14, 1978, Winnipeg, Manitoba 12 Winnipeg Fless tuesday March 14, 1978 canine birth control liquid makes All puppies wanted by Ron Cami Bell there s absolutely no excuse i for an unearned Puppy now thai la birth control liquid for dogs is Here. Canada became Hie first coun try in the world to Clear product for marketing and it has been on veterinarians shelves since october. The birth control liquid called Cheque has since been cleared in Belgium and Australia and should be on the . Market in co to to Days or. Lyle Ria group manager of Upjohn company s Tuc o division says. The generic name of Upjohn s product is mib oleron a synthetic male related hormone which prevents the final follicle devel Oping in the female dog s ovary thus preventing formation of the oestrogen which causes her to come into heat or period of sexual receptivity. It should be administered daily in the dog s food from at least 30 Days prior to the dog s heat period. There s no use giving Cheque when heal has already started Cha said. Tuco has been developing Cheque fur seven years. This involved three years of Cal work prior to getting government authorization to test it a two year test period in which More than females from 41 Breeds were Given the product and a two year wait for final governmental approval. Some of the testing was being done at two veterinary clinics in Winnipeg As far Back As 1975. Kea said the Side effects noted were clitoral enlarge ment and vaginitis on some Ani Mals a condition reversible when the dosage was lowered or discontinued. Licks returned to heat any from five to 270 Days the period recorded Sfier Hosn feds stopped. Female Dag s come into heat about every eight months on a though it can vary from four month to nine or ten month cycles depending on Breed Rea said. Heat does not occur at Ary time of year. The liquid is simply added Daly to the dog s rations by Means of an eyedropper that comes with the 27.5-Milligram Boice available from the Veteri nary. Rea said the Cost works out to about eight cents a Day. Dog owners generally want heat control for two reasons Rea said. First an owner May want to plan the dog s family. This eliminates the trouble of the heat period up to when they want her to have the first utter after which the dog is spayed. Secondly the owner May want to Breed the dog regularly but to control heat for purposes of showing the dog. Hunting with it or simply taking a vacation. Since it s a prescription item Cheque cannot be advertised in the Normal Way so to get around this Upjohn is planning to go the concept and route Rea said. He said this involves Public advertising stating there is a chemical alternative to spay ing and for details see your the veterinarians Stock a Booklet outlining the background and use of the drug. Since 1969, Tuco has marketed an Oral estrus inhibitor for cattle called Mega or i Lang Sterol acetate which farm ers use in feedlots to prevent animals jumping each other when they come into heat. Ria said experiments Are also being done with cats but it s been found they hate the taste of Che que. If the substance is combined with a palatable Mineral Vitamin in the cat s diet the animal will take it with no problem but the Mineral Vitamin degrades the stability of the hormone. Cats object violently to the taste of the Rea said.
