| dc.description.abstract | Deslorelin implants are licensed for fertility suppression in male dogs, ferrets, tom cats and
prepubertal bitches. Off-label application of deslorelin implants as a treatment option for a
great variety of clinical conditions have been researched thoroughly, although further
research must be done in certain areas, due to small sample sizes. This paper aims to collect
the current and relevant research performed for the off-label usage of deslorelin in clinical
practices, involving dogs and cats of both sexes. The findings in this paper includes
successful usage for conditions which are associated with behavior, abnormal cell growth,
dermatology, and urinary incontinence. Overall, the conclusion of this paper is that
deslorelin is a well-suited treatment option for the conditions mentioned, especially due to
its availability, price, and low invasiveness. | en_US |
