HI -
my take on the issue-
I see it in the shelter more than i would like to:
Currently Noah a 6 yr old MF male Well the lupron has only helped Noah who
has been on Lupron injections for a full year - has started humping his
playmates again and causing them great distress. ( pre ulcer conditions).
Short of making modifications in the message sending unit for the
endocrine system ( complete adrenal excision) I can't think of any way to
change it -- it is a hormonal drive which causes the neutered males to feel
in"rut" and this is Spring the rut season!
