Remember no one is arguing the need for sterilization, it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy achieve the same goal but leave important hormones intact according to science.

"The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract
Objective - To determine if gonadectomy in dogs is associated with the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CrCLD) and to quantify the magnitude of the association.

Study design - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sample population - Comparative studies with gonadectomized and entire dogs, with CrCLD as an outcome measure.

Methods - A systematic search of the primary and gray literature was performed. The effect size of the outcome measure was defined as the OR and 95% CI. Subgroup analysis was performed with s*x, breed, and age at gonadectomy. A pooled OR (95% CI) was generated from meta-analysis of relevant studies. Certainty in the body of evidence was rated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Results - The literature search yielded 1398 results and 24 relevant studies were included for synthesis. Gonadectomized female (pooled OR = 2.293, 95% CI = 1.768–2.945) and male (pooled OR = 2.117, 95% CI = 1.665–2.691) dogs were both at increased odds of developing CrCLD in comparison with entire female and male dogs, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that gonadectomy at 1 year or less was consistently associated with an increase in odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes. Overall certainty in the evidence was rated as moderate. All included studies were observational and no controlled trials were available.

Conclusion - In data with moderate certainty, gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes, particularly in dogs gonadectomized at 1 year of age or less.

Clinical significance - This study provides an estimate of the true effect size of gonadectomy on the odds of developing CrCLD, which may be useful for clinical decision making surrounding gonadectomy and the timing of gonadectomy."

Despite its high frequency and clinical relevance, the pathogenesis of canine pyometra remains poorly understood. The most accepted hypothesis is that bacteria involved ascend from the intestinal tract, causing the uterine infection. Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is the....

Very interesting 🧐

CAN YOUR DOG DIGEST DAIRY?!

Look what I just found...

I was thinking of the research that dound some breeds of dogs express more of the gene for amylase production (the enzyme that breaks down carbs), suggesting carbs, in some form and to some degree, we're at least on the menu for dogs living beside farmers (not huskies or akitas... but they still feed them high dose carb kibble...). An interesting peek at evolution in motion, something Darwin would have killed to have known.

Then I got to wondering if some breeds of farm / shepherd dogs fed milk in higher dose through history might have evolved to hold on to lactase longer than other breeds (like more than 70% of us globally, dogs drop the ability to make lactase after babyhood), and it looks like they might.

Recent genetic research indicates that certain dog populations, particularly those from Europe and the Middle East, have developed a higher tolerance for lactose. A study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution identified a specific genetic mutation—an A-to-G change at position chr19:38,609,592—that is prevalent in these dog populations. This mutation enhances the expression of the lactase (LCT) gene, thereby improving the dogs' ability to digest lactose.

(Collies, sheepdog and Swiss mountain dogs are top of the list).
