   Dear Spot/Celeste   
      
   Thanks for replying...   
   I appreciate your care.   
      
   I disagree with you   
   that spaying is safe.   
      
   It's major surgery, with   
   debilitating effects I   
   have seen personally.   
      
   Collge girls don't have   
   hysterectomies with   
   ovarion section to   
   keep from getting   
   pregnant.  Why   
   should bitches?   
      
   This looks to me like   
   it should be a bonanza   
   for the drug companies,   
   and could greatly affect   
   dog overpopulation.   
      
   I know dogs fertility cycles   
   are different than human: bitches   
   are fertile when they are bleeding.   
   But aren't the hormones just the same?   
      
   Can some vet help me out?   
      
   Is there a human birth control product   
   that can be effective for bitches too?   
   If so, what's the dosage, timing, etc?   
   Is there something you can buy without   
   a prescription?
