Pill Perancang

[honeybun]

I pernah terdengar ada orang bagi their cats pills macam pill perancang untuk mengawal female cats daripada get on heat dan mengelakkan kehamilan.

Kalau ada sesiap yang tahu, boleh share kat sini, samada berkesan atau tidak, dan jika ada kesan sampingan? TQ!

[kitty_inky]

i think setiap ubat buatan manusia ni semuanya ade kesan sampingan.better neuter rather then bagi pill.Becoz maybe it leads tu kidney failure or heart falure...sedangkan pill perancang manusia pun ade side effect...apetah lagi untuk binatang...

[imann]

agreed with kitty inky..

pernah tanya my vet dulu...she said mmg boleh kasi ubt tu...but not for long term...not good for kidney....better neuter je

Hi Kitty

Thanks for the feedback.

I've heard about it some time ago, cuma belum tanya mana-mana vet lagi untuk pengesahan. For my cats, belum plan lagi nak buat cara ini atau cara lain, coz I belum ada apa2 issue lagi.

Tapi sebelum terpaksa bertindak sesuatu tu, I'd like to make an informed decision when the time comes. That should take the guess work out of the whole thing.

Thanks for the info Imann

Berbalik kepada kawan yang menggunakan cara ini, katanya dah guna selama 3 tahun, so far ok. Klu vet Imann kata not good for long term, maybe it is an alternative to short term use?

Anyway I belum lagi nak apply this method. I need more info. Sikit lagi I google lah...!

Ada pil perancang kucing tp ada side effect.biasanya orang gunakan pil perancang ni utk feral cats yg susah ditangkap. dulu Sillylupie ada buka satu thread dlm forum ni.tak pasti kat sebelah mana.lupa dah. klu blh elak,elakkan dari kasih pil perancang dgn kucing coz side effect dia blh membunuh.tp utk org yg takde pilihan sebab kucing susah bebenor nak ditangkap coz terlalu liar blh pakailah.tepuk dada tanya selera.klu myself,takkan pakai ler kat mana2 strays.lebih rela tangkap kucing dgn net penangkap kucing

3 bulan sekali, hmmm...banyak jugak keje tu. Maybe zass is a better alternative. Permanent.

Hee hee... first time I dengar pun nak tergelak, Nur. Ada jugak, ek! That's why I need to find out more about this as an alternative method, but I guess it all depends. And klu banyak side effect dari benefits, then obviously it is not a better alternative to zass.

Hi Kak June

Maybe this article supports the birth control for the stray cats yang susah bebeno nak tangkap tu.

A Birth Control Pill For Cats?
By Dr. R.J. Peters

Retired health professional, journalist, author and animal care expert, Dr. Peters finds the Internet to be the perfect medium for sharing her many interests....

Apparently not many people know this, but oral contraception for cats has been around for as long as 30 years, according to some veterinarians who don't want to be quoted. However, there is a good deal of information at the web site for FeralStat, a company that produces the drug. But it's not really a pill. Anyone who has ever tried to give a tame cat a pill knows how impossible that would be with a wild one. Instead, the drug is mixed into canned food and set out at feeding stations to be sure it's ingested by all the cats.

Though not specifically used for birth control in the past, the drug has been used by vets for years to treat feline disorders. It contains progestogen, a hormone group that's been approved by the FDA for humans, according to the web site, and has more recently been found to be effective enough to provide good population control for feral cat colonies that are being properly managed. Management is key. You can't just give it to them and walk away. It has to be given repeatedly, just as people must take birth control pills on a schedule.

It's not the best option, but it's less costly and easier to administer than capturing every stray that needs it. Anyone who manages a feral colony can attest to the sometimes losing battle of getting all the cats "fixed" before the next batch of kittens is born.

The best option, of course, is surgical sterilization, but that's not always possible, or affordable by the volunteer groups and individuals who come forward to help these animals. Seldom does a community ever provide this degree of humane animal control, which is why it's more a citizen-driven effort.

The idea of an oral contraceptive for wild animals is not new, either. For years, wildlife experts have used drugs to control populations such as horses and raccoons. Why not cats?

Those who have been using FeralStat for a while are pleased to note that there have been no new litters of kittens, the cats look healthier, are less aggressive, and no side effects have been reported, even for the male cats and kittens who have ingested the drug.

The biggest drawback to oral contraception for these cats is that they are not as likely to be captured and vaccinated or checked for medical problems at the same time. Still, it's a very big step in the right direction for feral population control.

While it's important to be aware of the annual explosion known as kitten season it is critical that we all do something about it. It makes more sense to control the population than to simply continue the killing sprees most communities engage in. Over time, the problem can be controlled humanely, and expenses to do so will decline as the need to do so falls. This is far more effective than the old "trap and kill" methods in use in most places today. As I've always said, if killing them worked, why hasn't it worked yet? [Dr. RJ Peters established a rescue shelter in 2002, primarily for cats, and has rescued and re-homed more than 1,000 animals.]

This may be a great alternative to 'catching all the strays and zass each one of them?'
