Gonadectomy before 2.9 years of age in female dogs and 2.2 years in males is associated with a substantially increased risk of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease, according to new research published in the Journal of Small Animal Practice.
The new study performed secondary analysis of data from over 20,000 dogs spanning 36 years, to explore the association between cumulative gonadal hormone exposure and risk of CrCLD in dogs.
The study took a different approach by treating gonadal hormone exposure as a continuous variable, rather than categorising dogs by arbitrary age cut-offs.
